Boar’s Head Carol

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.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino!

Our steward hath provided this,
In honour of the King of bliss,
Which on this day to be served is,
In Reginensi atrio.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino!
