SCENE II. 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 kill'd the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home;

    The rest shall bear this burden
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn;
    It was a crest ere thou wast born:
    Thy father's father wore it,
    And thy father bore it:
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.

    Exeunt
