The Boar’s Head

The boar’s head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bay and rosemary;
So I pray you my masters be merry,
Quot estis in convivio.
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino
The boar’s head as I understand
Is the rarest dish in all the land,
When thus bedecked 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 Reginensis atrio.
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino x 2
