Abuse of the poor little green animal may also be alluded to in that very ancient ballad Jock Of Hazeldean, written by Sir Walter Scott:
The kirk was decked at morningtide,
The tapirs glimmered fair
Or possibly he meant, The kirk was decked at Morningside.
This would make sense. Tapirs would have been status exotics in Morningside, hired out in numbers for special events.
Or maybe they were prone to spontaneous combustion, and this lot were glimmering because they had ignited at the head end and were burning softly like candles.
So this is how pipes were invented!!
So this is how pipes were invented!!

Thirteen years to be a good piper, but the first five or so are spent hunting. No wonder the reeds are so darned expensive.

Or else they had drunk an awful lot of whisky, and that was making them glimmer.
