 2127Iaq. Which is he that killed the Deare?
 2128Lord. Sir, it was I.
 2129Iaq. Let's present him to the Duke like a Romane
 2130Conquerour, and it would doe well to set the Deares
 2131horns vpon his head, for a branch of victory; haue you
 2132no song Forrester for this purpose?
 2133Lord. Yes Sir.
 2134Iaq. Sing it: 'tis no matter how it bee in tune, so it
 2135make noyse enough.
 2136Musicke, Song.
  
 2137What shall he haue that kild the Deare?
 2138His Leather skin, and hornes to weare:
 2139Then sing him home, the rest shall beare this burthen;
 2140Take thou no scorne to weare the horne,
 2141It was a crest ere thou wast borne,
 2142Thy fathers father wore it,
 2143And thy father bore it,
 2144The horne, the horne, the lusty horne,
 2145Is not a thing to laugh to scorne.   Exeunt.
