SCENE IV.
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 be 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 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.
