Chapter Emeralder to Enfants de Dieu of E by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Endermay, i.e. Andermatt or Urseren, a town and valley in the Uri of Switzerland.

Soft as the happy swain’s enchanting lay,
That pipes among the shades of Endermay.
   —Falconer: The Shipwreck, iii. 3 (1756).

Endiga, in Charles XII., by J. R. Planché (1826).

Endless, the rascally lawyer in No Song No Supper, by P. Hoare (1790).

Endymion, a noted astronomer who, from mount Latmus, in Caria, discovered the course of the moon. Hence it is fabled that the moon sleeps with Endymion. Strictly speaking, Endymion is the setting sun.

So Latmus by the wise Endymion is renowned;
That hill on whose high top he was the first that found
Pale Phœbê’s wandering course; so skilful in her sphere,
As some stick not to say that he enjoyed her there.
   —Drayton: Polyolbion, vi. (1612).

On such a tranquil night as this,
She woke Endymion with a kiss.
Longfellow: Endymion.

To sleep like Endymion, to sleep long and soundly. Endymion requested of Jove permission to sleep as long as he felt inclined. Hence the proverb, Endymionis somnum dormïre. Jean Ogier de Gombaud wrote in French a romance or prose poem called Endymion (1624), and one of the best paintings of A. L. Girodet is “Endymion.” Cowley, referring to Gombaud’s romance, says—

While there is a people or a sun,
Endymion’s story with the moon shall run.

(John Keats, in 1818, published his Endymion (a poetic romance), and the criticism of the Quarterly Review is said to have caused his death. Lord Beaconsfield published a novel called Endymion (1880); and Longfellow has a poem so called.)

Endymion. So Wm. Browne calls sir Walter Raleigh, who was for a time in disgrace with queen Elizabeth, whom he calls “Cynthia.”

The first note that I heard I soon was wonne
To think the sighes of faire Endymion,
The subject of whose mournfull heavy lay,
Was his declining with faire Cynthia.
   —Browne: Britannia’s Pastorals, iv. (1613).

Endymion; or, The Man in the Moon, a drama by J. Lyly (1592).

Enfants de Dieu, the Camisards.

The royal troops outnumbered the Enfants de Dieu, and a not inglorious flight took place.—E. Gilliat: Asylum Christi, iii.
