2125Scena 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
2130Conquerour, 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
2135make 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;
2140Take 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,
2145Is not a thing to laugh to scorne.
  Exeunt.
