"Drunken Barnaby" was also the burden of an old ballad quoted by Haslewood:
"Barnaby, Barnaby, thou'st been drinking,
I can tell by thy nose, and thy eyes winking;
Drunk at Richmond, drunk at Dover,
Drunk at Newcastle, drunk all over.
Hey, Barnaby! tak't for a warning,
Be no more drunk, nor dry in a morning!"
"A Persian's Heav'n is easily made—
'Tis but black eyes and lemonade."
Pope's
