_Burke's "Mighty Boar of the Forest"_ (Vol. iii., p. 493.).--Idomeneus
awaiting the attack of AEneas could hardly be compared with Junius
attacking every body in his way. Burke more probably borrowed his boar
from even a greater poet than Homer. See Psalm lxxx. verses 8 to 13
(Common Prayer Version), and the context before and following, which
contains perhaps the most picturesque and beautiful, as well as
practical, allegory in the compass even of sacred literature. "The wild
boar out of the wood doth root it up, and the wild beasts of the field
devour it."
