The Boar's Head
The boar's head in hand bear
IBedecked with bay and rosemary;
So I pray you my masters be merry,
Quot estis in convivio [as many as are at the feast].
ChorusCaput apri defero [I bring in the boar's head]
Reddens laudes
Domino [Giving thanks to the lord]
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes
DominoThe boar's head as
I understand
Is the rarest dish in all the land,
Which thus bedecked with a gay garland,
Let us servire cantico [serve it with a song].
ChorusOur steward hath provided this
In honour of the
King of bliss,
Which on this day to be served is
In Reginensis atrio [In Queen's Hall].
