The Boar's head carol    

The boar’s head in hand bear I,
Bedeck’d with bays and rosemary;
And I pray you, my masters, be merry,

Quot estis in convivio
Caput Apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.

The boar’s head, as I understand,
Is the rarest disk in all this land,
Which thus bedeck’d with a gay garland,

Let us servire cantico.
Caput Apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.

Our Steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of Bliss;
Which on this day to be served is

In reginensi Atrio.
Caput Apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.
