Mævius, any vile poet. (See Bavius).
But if fond Bavius vent his clouted song,
Or Mævius chant his thoughts in brothel charm,
The witless vulgar, in a numerous throng,
Like summer flies about the dunghill swarm ...
Who hates not one may he the other love.
Phineas Fletcher, The Purple Island, i. (1633).
Magalo´na (The Fair), daughter of the king of Naples. She is the heroine of an old romance of chivalry, originally written in French, but translated into Spanish in the fifteenth century. Cervantes alludes to this romance in Don Quixote. The main incident of the story turns on a flying horse made by Merlin, which came into the possession of Peter of Provence.—The History of the Fair Magalona, and Peter, the son of the Count of Provence.
