Tyneman (2 syl.), Archibald IV., earl of Douglas. So called because he was always on the losing side.
Tyre, in Dryden’s satire of Absalom and Achitophel, means Holland. “Egypt,” in the same satire, means France.
I mourn my countrymen, your lost estate ...
Now all your liberties a spoil are made,
Egypt and Tyrus intercept your trade.
Pt. i. (1681).
Tyre (Archbishop of), with the crusaders.--Sir W. Scott, The Talisman (time, Richard I.).
Tyrian Cyn´osure (3 syl.), Ursa Minor. Ursa Major is called by Milton “The Star of Arcady,” from Calisto, daughter of Lyca´on, the first king of Arcadia, who was changed into this constellation. Her son, Arcas or Cynosūra, was made the Lesser Bear.--Pausanias, Itinerary of Greece, viii. 4.
And thou shalt be our star of Arcady,
Or Tyrian Cynosure.
