Act 4 Scene 2

(Enter Jaques and Lords dressed as foresters)
l1l	Jaques	 Which is he that killed the deer?
l2l	First Lord	Sir, it was I.
l3l	Jaques	(to the others)
		 Let’s present him to the Duke like
l4l		a Roman conqueror. And it would do well to set the
l5l		deer’s horns upon his head for a branch of victory.
l6l		Have you no song, forester, for this purpose?
l7l	Second Lord	Yes, sir.
l8l	Jaques	Sing it. ’Tis no matter how it be in tune, so it
l9l		make noise enough.
l10l	Lords	(sing)
		> What shall he have that killed the deer?
l11l		His leather skin and horns to wear.
l12l		Then sing him home# the rest shall bear
l13l		This burden.
l14l		Take thou no scorn to wear the horn#
l15l		It was a crest ere thou wast born.
l16l		Thy father’s father wore it,
l17l		And thy father bore it.
l18l		The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
l19l		Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
