[Music]
1. 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_. / CHORUS. / _Caput apri defero. / Reddons laudes Domino._
2. The boar's head as I understand / Is the bravest dish in all the land; / When thus bedecked with a gay garland / Let us _servire cantico_. / _Caput apri defero / Reddons laudes Domino._
3. Our steward hath provided this / In honour of the King of Bliss, / Which on this day to be served is / In _regimensi atrio_. / _Caput apri defero / Reddons laudes Domino._
