Nursery Rhyme. DXLVI. Natural History.

        [The Proverb of Barnaby Bright is given by Ray and Brand as referring to St. Barnabas.]

    Barnaby Bright he was a sharp cur,
    He always would bark if a mouse did but stir;
    But now he's grown old, and can no longer bark,
    He's condemn'd by the parson to be hanged by the clerk.
