_Vox et præterea nihil._--Whence come these oft-quoted words? Burton, in
_The Anatomy of Melancholy_ (not having the book by me, I am unable to
give a reference), quotes them as addressed by some one to the
nightingale. Wordsworth addresses the cuckoo similarly, vol. ii. p.
81.:--
"O, cuckoo! shall I call thee bird,
Or but a wandering voice?"
