_As lazy as Ludlam's Dog_ (Vol. i., pp. 382. 475.).--This proverb is to
be found in Ray's first edition (1670), and is quoted in a little book
entitled _Scarronides, et cet._, a burlesque on the second book of
Virgil's _Æneid_. Æneas, reposing on the "toro alto," is likened to
"Ludlam's curr, on truckle lolling;" whilst a marginal note says "'Tis a
proverb, Ludlam's dog lean'd his head against a wall when he went to
bark." Both here and in Ray the name is spelt _Ludl_a_m_.
