THE TRUE LEGEND OF PRINCE BLADUD
‘Less than two hundred years agoon one of the public baths in
this citythere appeared an inscription in honour of its mighty
founderthe renowned Prince Bladud. That inscription is now
erased.
‘For many hundred years before that timethere had been
handed downfrom age to agean old legendthat the illustrious
prince being afflicted with leprosyon his return from reaping a
rich harvest of knowledge in Athensshunned the court of his
royal fatherand consorted moodily with husbandman and pigs.
Among the herd (so said the legend) was a pig of grave and solemn
countenancewith whom the prince had a fellow-feeling―for he
too was wise―a pig of thoughtful and reserved demeanour; an
animal superior to his fellowswhose grunt was terribleand
whose bite was sharp. The young prince sighed deeply as he
looked upon the countenance of the majestic swine; he thought of
his royal fatherand his eyes were bedewed with tears.
