couldn't read it and couldn't recognise the quote.
Hmm.. could possibly be a clearer font
Its from the Boar's head carol. Boy am I showing my choir boy roots here in that I can quote significant chunks of that song.
The boar's head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bays and rosemary
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino
The boar's head, as I understand,
Is the rarest dish in all the land,
Which thus bedecked with a gay garland
Servitur cum sinapio.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino
Our steward hath provided this
In honour of the King of bliss
Which on this day to be served is
In Reginensi Atrio:
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino
The boar's head, I dare well say,
Anon after the eleventh day,
He takes his leave and goes away,
Exivit tum de patria.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino
