| a. |
Robin Hood's Delight, or, A merry combat
fought between Robin Hood, Little John
and Will Scarelock and three stout Keepers
in Sheerwood Forrest.
| |
Robin was valiant and stout, so was Scarelock
and John, in the field,
But these keepers stout did give them the rout,
and made them all for to yield; |
| |
But after the battel ended was, bold Robin did
make them amends,
For claret and sack they did not lack, so drank
themselves good friends. |
To the time of Robin Hood and Quene Katherine, or,
Robin Hood and the Shepheard.
London, Printed for John Andrews, at the
White Lion, near Pye Corner. (1660.) |
