SCENE IV. Enter Jaques, Lords and Foresters.

Jaq.

Which is he that kill'd the deer?

Lord.

Sir, it was I.

-- 364 --

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:—take Thou no Scorn
To wear the horn, the horn, the horn: The rest shall bear this Burthen.
It was a crest, ere 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.
