Caleb

(1) In the Old Testament, one of the twelve spies who were sent by the Israelites to investigate the land of Canaan. He and JOSHUA were the only ones who reported favorably; hence they were the only ones of their generation permitted to enter the Promised Land. 2. In Dryden's satire of Absalom and Achitophel, Caleb is meant for Lord Grey of Wark (Northumbe land), one of the adherents of the Duke of Monmouth.
And, therefore, in the name of dulness, be
The well-hung Balaam [ Earl of Huntingdon] and
old
Caleb free. Lines 512-513.

Achitophel

In the Old Testament, David's traitorous counsellor, who deserted to Absalom. ( 2 Sam. xv.) The Achitophel of Dryden's satire was the Earl of Shaftesbury.

Of these the rebel the false Achitophel was first;
A name to all succeeding ages curst;
For close designs and crooked counsels first;
Sagacious, bold, and turbulent of wit;
Restless, unfix'd in principles and place;
In power unpleased, impatient in disgrace.

I. 150.
