_Caput apri defero,_
_Reddens laudes Domino._
The boar’s head in hand bring I,
With garlands gay and rosemary;
I pray you all sing merrily,
_Qui estis in convivio._
The boar’s head, I understand,
Is the chief service in this land;
Look, wherever it be fand,
_Servite cum cantico._
Be glad, lords, both more and less,
For this hath ordained our steward,
To cheer you all this Christmas,
The boar’s head with mustard.
