And after this, Tiburce in good entente (2 _syl._), With Valerīan to Pope Urban went, And this thing sche unto Tiburce tolde (3 _syl._). Chaucer. =Tibur´zio=, commander of the Pisans, in their attack upon Florence, in the fifteenth century. The Pisans were thoroughly beaten by the Florentines, led by Lu´ria, a Moor, and Tiburzio was taken captive. Tiburzio tells Luria that the men of Florence will cast him off after peace is established, and advises him to join Pisa. This Luria is far too noble to do, but he grants Tiburzio his liberty. Tiburzio, being examined by the council of Florence, under the hope of finding some cause of censure against the Moor, to lessen or cancel their obligations to him, “testifies to his unflinching probity,” and the council could find no cause of blame, but Luria, by poison, relieves the ungrateful state of its obligation to him.--Robert Browning, _Luria_. =Tichborne Dole= (_The_). When Lady Mabella was dying, she requested her husband to grant her the means of leaving a charitable bequest. It was to be a dole of bread, to be distributed annually on the Feast of the Annunciation, to any who chose to apply for it. Sir Roger, her husband, said he would give her as much land as she could walk over while a billet of wood remained burning. The old lady was taken into the park, and managed to crawl over twenty-three acres of land, which was accordingly set apart, and is called “The Crawls” to this hour. When the Lady Mabella was taken back to her chamber, she said, “So long as this dole is continued, the family of Tichborne shall prosper; but immediately it is discontinued, the house shall fall, from the failure of an heir male. This,” she added, “will be when a family of seven sons is succeeded by one of seven daughters.” The custom began in the reign of Henry II., and continued till 1796, when, singularly enough, the baron had seven sons and his successor seven daughters, and Mr. Edward Tichborne, who inherited the Doughty estates, dropping the original name, called himself Sir Edward Doughty. =Tickell= (_Mark_), a useful friend, especially to Elsie Lovell.--Wybert Reeve, _Parted_. =Tickler= (_Timothy_), an ideal portrait of Robert Sym, a lawyer of Edinburgh (1750-1844).--Wilson, _Noctes Ambrosianæ_ (1822-36). =Tiddler.= (See TOM TIDDLER’S GROUND.) =Tiddy-Doll=, a nickname given to Richard Grenville, Lord Temple (1711-1770). =Tide-Waiters= (_Ecclesiastical_). So the Rev. Lord Osborne (S. G. O.) calls the clergy in convocation whose votes do not correspond with their real opinions. =Tider= (_Robin_), one of the servants of the earl of Leicester.--Sir W. Scott, _Kenilworth_ (time, Elizabeth). =Tiffany=, Miss Alscrip’s lady’s-maid; pert, silly, bold, and a coquette.--General Burgoyne, _The Heiress_ (1781).
