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].
