Which is he that killed the deer?

Which is he that killed the deer?
First Lord
Sir, it was I.
Jaques, to the other Lords
Let's present him to the
Duke like a Roman conqueror. And it would do well
to set the deer's horns upon his head for a branch of
victory.—Have you no song, forester, for this
purpose?
Second Lord
Yes, sir.
Jaques
Sing it. ‘Tis no matter how it be in tune, so it
make noise enough.
Second Lord sings
What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
(The rest shall bear this burden:)
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn.
It was a crest ere thou wast born.
Thy father's father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
They exit.
