- Cf. popular English nursery rhyme: "Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock. / The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, / Hickory dickory dock. / Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock. / The clock struck two, the mouse said "Boo!" / Hickory dickory dock. / Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock. / The clock stuck three, the mouse said "Whee!" / Hickory dickory dock. / Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock. / The clock struck four, the mouse said "No more!" / Hickory dickory dock."[1] Some reports claim that the rhyme was written by Oliver Goldsmith, in Dublin for a volume of nursery rhymes he was collecting[2]
