_Umbriel_ [_Um.breel´_], a sprite whom Spleen supplies with a bagful of “sighs, sobs, and cross words,” and a vialful of “soft sorrows, melting grief, and flowing tears.” When the baron cuts off Belinda’s lock of hair, Umbriel breaks the vial over her, and Belinda instantly begins sighing and sobbing, chiding, weeping, and pouting.--Pope, _Rape of the Lock_ (1712). Umbriel, a dusky, melancholy sprite As ever sullied the fair face of light, Down to the central earth, his proper scene, Repaired, to search the gloomy cave of Spleen. Canto iv. 13, etc. =U´na=, truth; so called because truth is one. She goes, leading a lamb and riding on a white ass, to the court of Gloriana, to crave that one of her knights might undertake to slay the dragon which kept her father and mother prisoners. The adventure is accorded to the Red Cross Knight, and the two start forth together. A storm compels them to seek shelter in a forest, and when the storm abates they get into Wandering Wood, where they are induced by Archimago to sleep in his cell. A vision is sent to the knight, which causes him to quit the cell, and Una, not a little surprised at this discourtesy, goes in search of him. In her wanderings she is caressed by a lion, who becomes her attendant. After many adventures, she finds St. George, “The Red Cross Knight;” who is held captive by Ugoglio, pride. Prince Arthur slays Ugoglio and frees the knight, who is then taken by Una to the house of Holiness to prepare for his battle with the dragon, which he finally defeats after a terrific three-days contest.--Spenser, _Faëry Queen_, i. (1590). _Una_, one of Flora M’Ivor’s attendants.--Sir W. Scott, _Waverley_ (time, George II.). =Uncas=, son of Chingachgook, surnamed “Deer-foot.” The courage, dignity, and loyalty of this young chieftain, combine with his personal graces to make him one of the most interesting creations of the novelist’s imagination. He dies in the effort to rescue the palefaced girl he loves, from the cruel Magua, and is buried by his tribe with all the honors due the bravest and purest of the tribe. “Who that saw thee in battle, would believe that thou couldst die? Who before thee has ever shown Uttawa the way into the fight? Thy feet were like the wings of eagles; thine arm heavier than falling branches from the pine, and thy voice like the Manitou when he speaks in the clouds.”--James Fenimore Cooper, _The Last of the Mohicans_. =Unborn Doctor= (_The_), of Moorfields. Not being born a doctor, he called himself “The Un-born Doctor.” =Uncle Larry=, genial man of the world, kindly in thought, and sagacious in speech, who appears in _The Last Meeting_, _The Rival Ghosts_ and other tales by Brander Matthews.
