Bluegrass In The Backwoods... (Careful, there is a) Wild Hog In The Woods

Fiddler - Posted - 12/04/2014:  14:24:06

Wild Hog in the Woods ... (that's the beginning of the)  Boar's Head Carol

"... Where an amusing tradition formerly current in Oxford concerning the boar's head custom, which represented that usage as a commemoration of an act of valour performed by a student of the college, who, while walking in the neighbouring forest of Shotover and reading Aristotle, was suddenly attacked by a wild boar. The furious beast came open-mouthed upon the youth, who, however, very courageously, and with a happy presence of mind, thrust the volume he was reading down the boar's throat, crying, "Græcum est,"^[4] and fairly choked the savage with the sage."   from Songs of the Nativity Being Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern, 1868

Chorus:

Caput apri defero

Reddens laudes Domino

The victory of reason over brawn!  I shall now sit back on my laurels and enjoy the savory moment with song.....

<singing with gusto!>

The boar's head, as I understand,

Is the rarest dish in all this land,

Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland

Let us servire cantico.
