Classic Poem

Caput apri refero,
Resonans laudes Domino.

The Boar's head in hands I bring,
With garlands gay and birds singing.
I pray you all, help me to sing,
Qui estis in convivio.

The boar's head, I understand,
Is chief service in this land.
Wheresoever it may be found
Servitur cum sinapio.

The boar's head, I dare well say,
Anon after the twelfth day,
He taketh his leave and goeth away;
Exivit tunc de patria.
