Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)/As You Like It/Act 4 Scene 2

Scena Secunda.


Enter Iaques and Lords, Forresters.

Iaq.
Which is he that killed the Deare?

Lord.
Sir, it was I.

Iaq.
Let's present him to the Duke like a Romane Conquerour, and it would doe well to set the Deares horns vpon his head, for a branch of victory; haue you no song Forrester for this purpose?

Lord.
Yes Sir.

Iaq.
Sing it: 'tis no matter how it bee in tune, so it make noyse enough.


Musicke, Song.

What shall he haue that kild the Deare?

His Leather skin, and hornes to weare:
Then sing him home, the rest shall beare this burthen;
Take thou no scorne to weare the horne,
It was a crest ere thou wast borne,
Thy fathers father wore it,
And thy father bore it,
The horne, the horne, the lusty horne,
Is not a thing to laugh to scorne.


Exeunt.
