</LG>
<LG>
<L>As <HI>Robin Hood</HI> walkt the forre&s;t along,</L>

<L>It was in the mid&s;t of the day,</L>

<L>Thou &s;halt be a bold Yeoman of mine.</L>
</LG>
<LG>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thou had'&s;t not be&s;t buffet me, &s;aid <HI>Ro. Hood,</HI></L>
<L><HI>with a hey down,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
<L>For though I &s;eem forlorn,</L>

<L>Be'e&s;t thou never &s;o much in ha&s;te,</L>
<L>for I can draw out a good broad &s;word</L>
<L>And quickly cut the bla&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then <HI>Robin Hood</HI> bent a very good bow,</L>
<L><HI>with a hey down,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
<L>To that &s;hot and he would fain,</L>
<L>the &s;tronger he bent up a noble bow</L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>O hold thy hand, hold thy hand, qd. <HI>Ro. Hood,</HI></L>
