14

Robin and his men did issue forth,
them all to entertain,
And with the gallant grey goose wing,
they shewed to them such play,

ROBIN HOOD, AND LITTLE JOHN.

That made their horses kick and fling,
and down their riders lay,
Full glad and fain the Bishop was
with all his thousand men,

To seek what means he could to pass
from out of Robin's ken,
Two hundred of his men were kill'd,
and fourscore horses good,

Thirty who did as captives yield,
were brought to the green wood,
