DRUNKEN BARNABYS FOUR JOURNEYS TO THE NORTH OF ENGLAND
Together with Bessy Bell
By Richard Braithwaite
Richard Brathwait or Brathwaite (1588 – 4 May 1673) was an English poet.
He was the author of many works of very unequal merit, of which the best known is Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys, which records his pilgrimages through England in rhymed Latin (said by Southey to be the best of modern times), and doggerel English verse.

"Richard Brathwaite's most famous work is Barnabae Itinerarium or Barnabees Journall [1638], by "Corymbaeus," written in English and Latin rhyme. The title-page says it is written for the "travellers' solace" and is to be chanted to the old tune of "Barnabe." The story of "drunken Barnabee's" four journeys to the north of England contains much amusing topographical information, and its gaiety is unflagging. Barnabee rarely visits a town or village without some notice of an excellent inn or a charming hostess, but he hardly deserves the epithet "drunken." At Banbury he saw the Puritan who has become proverbial, "Hanging of his cat on Monday For killing of a Mouse on Sunday." - Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911, Vol. 4, p. 436.
