A caroll bringyng in the bores heed.

Caput apri differo
Reddens laudens domino
The bores heed in hande bring I
with garlans gay and rosemary
I pray yow all synge merely
Qui estis in conuiuio.
The bores heed I vnderstande
Is the [c]hefe seruyce in this lande
Loke where euer it be fande.
Seruite cum cantico.
Be gladde lordes bothe more and lasse
For this hath ordeyned ouer stewarde
To chere you all this christmasse
The bores heed with mustarde.
Finis.
