'Robin Hood and the Beggar,' I (No, 133), from stanza lti, is another version of this ballad. There are passages in A and B which are almost repetitions of 'Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar' (No, 123). The rescue in the ballad is introduced into Anthony Munday's play of The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntington' (act ii, scene 2). For the disguise, cf. 'Hind Horn' (No, 17).
