READ STUDY GUIDE: Act IV, scenes i–ii

Act IV, Scene ii:
Another part of the Forest.
 
[Enter JAQUES and Lords, in the habit of Foresters.]
JAQUES:
Which is he that killed the deer?
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?
LORD:
Yes, sir.
JAQUES:
Sing it; 'tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise
enough.
SONG:
1. What shall he have that kill'd the deer?
2. His leather skin and horns to wear.
1. Then sing him home:
[The rest shall hear this burden.]
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn;
It was a crest ere thou wast born.
1. Thy father's father wore it;
2. And thy father bore it;
All. The horn, the horn, the lusty horn,
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
[Exeunt.]
