COULD St. Anselm's logic
Make wine the less ruddy?
St. George was too fiery,
His dragon too bloody.
Sing ho! for St. Hubert,
The patron for me.
When hunting horns wind
Over heather and lea.
The bell of his chapel
Most merrily jingles;
A mossy old chapel,
In the dimmest of dingles.
The fat priest, and merry,
Holds short hunter's mass.
We give him a pastry
Whenever we pass.
Your crabbed St. Peter,
For all of his fuss,
Would leave us in limbo,
St. Hubert for us.
