<P> "Fee - fi - fo - fum" is the first line of a historical quatrain (or sometimes couplet) famous for its use in the classic English fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". The poem, as given in Joseph Jacobs' 1890 rendition, is as follows: </P> <P> Fee - fi - fo - fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread . </P>

Where did fe fi fo fum come from
