lyrics

The boar's head in hand bear I,
Bedecked 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 dish in all this land,
Which thus bedecked with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico.

Our steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of Bliss,
Which on this day to be served is
In reginensi atrio.
