Dictionary of Phrase and Fable—A

Adriel

in Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel, is meant for the Earl of Mulgrave.

Sharp-judging Adriel, the muses' friend,
Himself a muse: in Sanbedrim's debate
True to his prince, but not a slave of state;
Whom David's love with honours did adorn,
That from his disobedient son were torn.

—Part I.
