The boar's head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bay and rosemary
Pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio
Chorus (after each verse):
Caput apri defero
Redens laudes Domino
Caput apri defero
Redens laudes Domino
The boar's head, as I understand
Is the bravest dish in all the land
Thus bedecked with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico
A steward hath provided this
In honor of the King of bliss
On this day be served is
In Reginensi Atrio
The boar's head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bay and rosemary
Pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio
