CAELESTI’NA, the bride of sir Walter Terill.  The king commanded sir Walter to bring his bride to court on the night of her marriage.  Her father, to save her honor, gave her a mixture supposed to be poison, but in reality it was only a sleeping draught.  In due time the bride recovered, to the amusement of the king and delight of her husband.—­Th.  Dekker, Satiromastix (1602).

CAE’NEUS [Se.nuce] was born of the female sex, and was originally called Caenis.  Vain of her beauty, she rejected all lovers, but was one day surprised by Neptune, who offered her violence, changed her sex, converted her name to Ceneus, and gave her (or rather him) the gift of being invulnerable.  In the wars of the Lap’ithae, Ceneus offended Jupiter, and was overwhelmed under a pile of wood, but came forth converted into a yellow bird.  AEneas found Ceneus in the infernal regions restored to the feminine sex.  The order is inverted by sir John Davies: 

  And how was Caeneus made at first a man,
  And then a woman, then a man again.
  Orchestra, etc. (1615).

CAESAR (Caius Julius).

  Somewhere I’ve read, but where I forget, he could dictate
  Seven letters at once, at the same time writing his memoirs.... 
  Better be first, he said, in a little Iberian village
  Than be second in Rome; and I think he was right when he said it. 
  Twice was he married before he was twenty, and many times after;
  Battles five hundred he fought, and a thousand cities he conquered;
  But was finally stabbed by his friend the orator Brutus. 
  Longfellow, Courtship of Miles Standish, ii.

Longfellow refers to Pliny, vii. 25, where he says that Caesar “could employ, at one and the same time, his ears to listen, his eyes to read, his hand to write, and his tongue to dictate.”  He is said to have conquered three hundred nations; to have taken eight hundred cities, to have slain in battle a million men, and to have defeated three millions.
