SCENE II. Enter Jaques, Lords, and Foresters.

Jaq.

Which is he that kill'd the Deer?

Lord.

Sir, it was I.

Jaq.

Let's present him to the Duke like a Roman Conqueror, and it would do well to set the Deer's Horns upon his Head, for a branch of Victory; have you no Song, Forester, for this purpose?

For.

Yes, Sir.

Jaq.

Sing it: 'Tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise enough.

Musick, Song.
What shall he have that kill'd the Deer?
His Leather Skin and Horns to wear;
Then sing him home, the rest shall bear this burthen;
Take thou no scorn to wear the Horn,
It was a Crest e'er thou wast born,
Thy Father's Father wore it,
And thy Father bore it,
The Horn, the Horn, the lusty Horn,
Is not a thing to laugh to Scorn. [Exeunt.
