As You Like It: Act 4, Scene 2 Summary & Analysis

Jaques addresses the First Lord, who has killed a deer, and suggests that he present his kill like a Roman conqueror, and give the deer’s horns like a victory branch. The Second Lord accompanies the presentation with a song. The song touches on cuckoldry and includes the line, “take thou no scorn to wear the horn… the horn, the horn, the lusty horn, is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
