In Ausonian land Men called him Mulciber; and how he fell From heaven, they fabled, thrown by angry Jove Sheer o’er the crystal battlements; from morn To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve, A Summer’s day; and with the setting sun Dropt from the Zenith like a falling star, On Lemnos, the Ægean isle. Milton, _Paradise Lost_, 739, etc. (1665). =Muley Bugentuf=, king of Morocco, a blood-and-thunder hero. He is the chief character of a tragedy of the same name, by Thomas de la Fuenta. In the first act, the king of Morocco, by way of recreation, shot a hundred Moorish slaves with arrows; in the second, he beheaded thirty Portuguese officers, prisoners of war; and in the third and last act, Muley, mad with his wives, set fire with his own hand to a detached palace, in which they were shut up, and reduced them all to ashes.... This conflagration, accompanied with a thousand shrieks, closed the piece in a very diverting manner.--Lesage, _Gil Blas_, ii. 9 (1715). =Mull Sack.= John Cottington, in the time of the Commonwealth, was so called, from his favorite beverage. John Cottington emptied the pockets of Oliver Cromwell when lord protector; stripped Charles II. of £1500; and stole a watch and chain from Lady Fairfax. ⁂ Mull sack is spiced sherry negus. =Mulla’s Bard=, Spenser, author of the _Faëry Queen_. The Mulla, a tributary of the Blackwater, in Ireland, flowed close by the spot where the poet’s house stood. He was born and died in London (1553-1599). ... it irks me while I write, As erst the bard of Mulla’s silver stream, Oft as he told of deadly dolorous plight Sighed as he sung, and did in tears indite. Shenstone, _The Schoolmistress_ (1758). _Mulla._ Thomas Campbell, in his poem on the _Spanish Parrot_, calls the island of Mull, “Mulla’s Shore.” =Mullet= (_Professor_), the “most remarkable man” of North America. He denounced his own father for voting on the wrong side at an election for president, and wrote thunderbolts in the form of pamphlets, under the signature of “Suturb” or Brutus reversed.--C. Dickens, _Martin Chuzzlewit_ (1844). =Mullins= (_Rev. Peter_). A minister of the gospel, who holds so hard to the belief that the laborer is worthy of his hire, that he can see nothing but the hire. “How am I to know whether my services are acceptable unless every year there is some voluntary testimonial concerning them? It seems to me that I must have such a testimonial. I find myself looking forward to it.”--Josiah Gilbert Holland, _Arthur Bonnicastle_ (1873). =Mul´mutine Laws=, the code of Dunvallo Mulmutius, sixteenth king of the Britons (about B.C. 400). This code was translated by Gildas from British into Latin, and by Alfred into English.
