Child 153
Robin Hood and the Valiant Knight
Appendix.

  Robin Hood's Epitaph,
Set on his tomb
By the Prioress of Birkslay Monastery, in
Yorkshire.
  Robin, Earl of Huntington,
Lies under this little stone.
No archer was like him so good;
His wildness nam'd him Robin Hood.
Full thirteen years, and something more,
These northern parts he vexed sore.
Such outlaws as he and his men
May England never know again!
