[TRANSA TION]

The boar's head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bays and rosemary
And I pray you my masters be merry
As many as are at the feast

I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD

The boar's head as I understand
Is the rarest dish in all the land
When thus bedecked with a gay 
garland
Let us serve it with a song

I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD

Our steward hath provided this
In honor of the King of bliss
Which on this day to be served is
In the hall of Queen's (College, 
Oxford)

I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD.
I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD
