The Boar's Head Feast and Traditional Carol
The boar's head in hand bring I
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio.
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio.

Reddens laudes Domino.
Reddens laudes Domino.

Is the rarest dish in all this land
Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico.

In honor of the King of Bliss;
Which, on this day to be served is
In Reginensi atrio.
