The forest.
[Enter JAQUES, Lords, and Foresters]
JAQUES
Which is he that killed the deer?
A Lord
Sir, it was I.
JAQUES
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?
FORESTER
Yes sir.
JAQUES
Sing it: 'tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise enough.
SONG.
FORESTER

What shall | he have | that killed | the deer?
, , ,
,
His leath|er skin,| and horns | to wear:
, , ,
, ,
o oo
Then sing | him home,| the rest | shall bear |
this burd|en; |
, ,
, ,
Take thou | no scorn | to wear | the horn,
, ,
, ,
It was | a crest | ere thou | wast born,
, ,
, o
Thy fath|er's fath|er wore | it,
, ,
, oo
And thy | father | bore it.|
, , ,
,
The horn,| the horn,| the lust|y horn,
, ,
, ,
Is not | a thing | to laugh | to scorn.
