Martin has sung...
BOAR'S HEAD CAROL (Macaronic song, English and Latin)
The boar's head in hand bear I Bedecked with bays and rosemary I pray you, my masters, be merry Quot estis in convivio (so many as are in the feast)
CHO: Caput apri defero, Reddens laudes domino (the boar's head I bring, giving praises to God)
The boar's head, as I understand, Is the rarest dish in all this land, Which thus bedecked with a gay garland Let us servire cantico. (let us serve with a song)
CHO:
Our steward hath provided this In honor of the King of bliss Which, on this day to be served is In Reginensi atrio: (in the Queen's hall)
Queens College Version, Oxford, England first published 1521
Recorded by John Langstaff - Christmas Revels. Also by Deller Consort Mudcat page
