Chapter Bull-dog to Burbon of B by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Bunting, the pied piper of Hamelin. He was so called from his dress.

To blow the pipe his lips he wrinkled,
And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled…
And ere three notes his pipe had uttered…
Out of the houses rats came tumbling—
Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats,
Brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats,…
And step by step they followed him dancing,
Till they came to the river Weser.
   —R. Browning.

Buonaventura (Father), a disguise assumed for the nonce by the chevalier Charles Edward, the pretender.—Sir W. Scott: Redgauntlet (time, George III.).

Bur (John), the servant of Job Thornberry, the brazier of Penzance. Brusque in his manners, but most devotedly attached to his master, by whom he was taken from the workhouse. John Bur kept his master’s “books” for twenty-two years with the utmost fidelity.—Colman: John Bull (1805).

Burbon (i.e. Henri IV. of France). He is betrothed to Fordelis (France), who has been enticed from him by Grantorto (rebellion). Being assailed on all sides by a rabble rout, Fordelis is carried off by “hellrake hounds.” The rabble batter Burbon’s shield (protestantism), and compel him to throw it away. Sir Artegal (right or justice) rescues the “recreant knight” from the mob, but blames him for his unknightly folly in throwing away his shield (of faith). Talus (the executive) beats off the hell-hounds, gets possession of the lady, and though she flouts Burbon, he catches her up upon his steed and rides off with her.—Spenser: Faërie Queen, v. 2 (1596).
