Dauphin (Le Grand), Louis due de Bourgogne, eldest son of Louis XIV., for whom was published the Delphin Classics (1661–1711).

Dauphin (Le Petit), son of the “Grand Dauphin” (1682–1712).

Daura, daughter of Armin. She was betrothed to Armar, son of Armart, Erath a rival lover having been rejected by her. One day, disguised as an old grey-beard, Erath told Daura that he was sent to conduct her to Armar, who was waiting for her. Without the slightest suspicion, she followed her guide, who took her to a rock in the midst of the sea, and there left her. Her brother Arindal, returning from the chase, saw Erath on the shore, and bound him to an oak; then pushing off the boat, went to fetch back his sister. At this crisis Armar came up, and discharged his arrow at Erath; but the arrow struck Arindal, and killed him. “The boat broke in twain,” and when Armar plunged into the sea to rescue his betrothed, a “sudden blast from the hills struck him, and he sank to rise no more.” Daura was rescued by her father, but she haunted the shore all night in a drenching rain. Next day “her voice grew very feeble; it died away; and, spent with grief, she expired.”—Ossian: Songs of Selma.
