Act IV, Scene 2

The forest

Enter JAQUES and LORDS, in the habit of foresters

• Jaques (lord). Which is he that killed the deer?

• Lord. Sir, it was I.

• Jaques (lord). 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? 1985

• Lord. Yes, sir.

• Jaques (lord). Sing it; 'tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise
  enough.
  SONG.
  What shall he have that kill'd the deer? 1990
  His leather skin and horns to wear.
  [The rest shall hear this burden:]
  Then sing him home.
  Take thou no scorn to wear the horn;
  It was a crest ere thou wast born. 1995
  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
