Amongst the roast meats were chines of beef, haunches of venison, gigots of mutton, fatted geese, capons, turkeys, and sucking pigs; amongst the boiled, pullets, lamb, and veal; but baked meats chiefly abounded, and amongst them were to be found red-deer pasty, hare-pie, gammon-of-bacon pie, and baked wild-boar.
Lancelot bringeth off his knights like as the wild-boar goeth among the dogs, and Kay dealeth him great buffets of his sword when he may catch him, and Lancelot him again, and so they depart, fencing in such sort.
By this time, also, the chief huntsman had collected his forces, consisting of a dozen prickers, six habited like himself in green, and six in russet, and all mounted on stout curtals.

Behold the snake his mystic Rod intwine. He has in his hand the fascia herbarum, and the crepidae on his feet. There is a wild-boar represented lying on one side, which I admire as a master-piece. The savageness of his appearance is finely contrasted with the case and indolence of the attitude.
At Rome I thought I must break with him on account of the wild-boar; and at Heidelberg, the sausage and the ham! how could he, in my presence? But I took him with all his faults, and was glad to get him," she added, ending her meditation with a little burst of candor; and she did not even think of Basil's appetite when he reappeared.
A voice was heard saying: "Is that you, Ronan?" "I and mine. Lead, Simon, you good servant of the episcopal villa! Lead on, we follow." "We shall have to wait." "Why delay?" "Count Neroweg is still with the bishop, with his leudes." "All the better! We shall capture a fox and a wild-boar at once! A superb hunt!" "The count has with him twenty-four well armed leudes." "We are thirty!
Now here is my proposition: You know that a wild-boar hunt is to take place to-morrow in the Mares woods. When we station ourselves we shall be placed together at a spot I know of, where we shall be out of the sight of the other hunters.
