   and got before him but he refused to go. He ran against them and one the police endeavouring to stop him, kicked him in the head. But the infuriating pig with its formidable tusks lacerated the policeman's leg that he died in hospital from blood poison. The poet wrote the following verses on the event.

   You critics accuse me and do not abuse me
   Although that my subject it seems rather "mane"
   For want of fair learning my words are no sterling
   My person is rural and therefore quite plain.
   Therefore do not blame me, despise or defame me
   Let me pass unheeded and I'll ask no more
   I feign without fiction to give a description
   Concerning a pig called Tenneyson's boar.

   I saw him while grazing his size was amazing.
   His size and complextion I'd fill one with awe
   His tusks were extending just ready for ending
   Promiscuously placed in his monstrous jaw
   He's fierce and courageous, when vexed he's outrageous
   He's like the man Dan in the days of yore
   He threatens to storm the friend of reform
   There's something mysterious in Tennyson's boar.

   He'll spread devastation I fear through the nation
   There's terror and rage to be seen in his eyes.
