_Nursery Rhymes_ (Vol. viii., p. 452.).--I fear J. R.'s anxiety to find a
Saxon origin to a nursery rhyme has _suggested_ unconsciously a version
which does not otherwise exist. The rhyme in my young days used to be,--
"Hushaby, baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock."
--a sufficient rhyme for the nursery.
