Boar's Head Tavern

Boar's Head Tavern, Latine sc. "Ad caput aprugnum", fuit taberna ad vicum Eastcheap Londinii ante annum 1537 condita, anno 1666 in Magno Londinii Incendio combusta, mox reconstructa, anno 1831 deleta. Haec taberna in fabulis scaenicis Shakesperii Henry IV part I et Henry IV part II est locus cenarum et comissationum Ioannis Falstaff et principis Henrici.

Secundum Iacobum Boswell societas privata in hac taberna annis fere 1760/1770 conveniebat cuius sodales nominibus Shakesperianis sibi nuncupabant: quam sodalitatem amicus eius Samuel Johnson devitare suasit: "Don't be of it, sir.".James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. Textus
