Literature

Callipolis A character in the Battle of Alcazar (1594) by George Peele. It is referred to by Pistol in 2 Henry IV., act ii. 4; and Sir W. Scott uses the word over and over again as the synonym of lady-love, sweetheart, charmer. Sir Walter always spells the word Callipolis, but Peele calls it Calipolis. The drunken Mike Lambourne says to Amy Robsart -
"Hark ye, most fair Callipolis, or most lovely countess of clouts, and divine duchess of dark corners."- Kenilworth, chap. xxxiii.
And the modest Roland Græme calls the beautiful Catherine his "most fair Callipolis." (The Abbot, chap. xi.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
