Reading edition
'A figure which has one angle, or more, of ninety degrees.'—Johnson's Dictionary. It here means a Right-angled Triangle, which is therefore incapable of having more than one angle of ninety degrees, but which may, according to our author's Prosopopœia, be supposed to be in love with Three or any greater number of Nymphs.
