Sir Walter Scott, in his _Ivanhoe_, calls him the holy clerk of Copmanhurst, and describes him as a “large, strong-built man in a sackcloth gown and hood, girt with a rope of rushes.” He had a round, bullet head, and his close-shaven crown was edged with thick, stiff, curly black hair. His countenance was bluff and jovial, eyebrows black and bushy, forehead well-turned, cheeks round and ruddy, beard long, curly and black, form brawny (ch. xv.). In the May-day morris-dance the friar is introduced in full clerical tonsure, with the chaplet of white and red beads in his right hand, a corded girdle about his waist, and a russet robe of the Franciscan order. His stockings red, his girdle red, ornamented with gold twist and a golden tassel. At his girdle hung a wallet for the reception of provisions, for “Walleteers” had no other food but what they received from begging. Friar Tuck was chaplain to Robin Hood, the May-king. (See MORRIS-DANCE.) In this our spacious isle, I think there is not one But he hath heard some talk of Hood and Little John; Of Tuck, the merry friar, which many a sermon made, In praise of Robin Hood, his outlaws and their trade.

Mr. Daffodil, “the male coquette,” Tukely dresses in woman’s clothes, makes an appointment with Daffodil, and gets him to slander Sophia and other ladies, concealed among the trees. They thus hear his slanders, and, presenting themselves before him, laugh him to scorn.--Garrick, _The Male Coquette_ (1758). =Tulk´inghorn= (_Mr._), attorney-at-law and legal adviser of the Dedlocks. Very silent and perfectly self-contained, but, knowing Lady Dedlock’s secret, he is like the sword of Dam´oclês over her head, and she lives in ceaseless dread of him.--C.
