English proverb, viz. — " The Robin and the Wren, are God Al- 

 mighty's cock and hen :" and in some parts of France, it is known 

 by the epithet of Boeuf de Dieu. It is, however, only in one instance, 

 that I find the Wren to be dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where it is 

 called the Hen of our Lady.*
