The horn

M. Castelnuovo-Tedesco

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.
