NOW Robin Hood Will Scadlock and Little John	A
Are walking over the plain	B
With a good fat buck which Will Scadlock	C
With his strong bow had slain	B
	-
Jog on jog on ' cries Robin Hood	D
The day it runs full fast	E
For though my nephew me a breakfast gave	F
I have not yet broke my fast	E
	-
Then to yonder lodge let us take our way	G
I think it wondrous good	D
Where my nephew by my bold yeomen	B
Shall be welcomd unto the green wood '	-
	-
With that he took the bugle horn	B
Full well he could it blow	H
Streight from the woods came marching down	B
One hundred tall fellows and mo	H
	-
Stand stand to your arms ' crys Will Scadlock	C
Lo the enemies are within ken '	-
With that Robin Hood he laughd aloud	I
Crys They are my bold yeomen	B
	-
Who when they arriv'd and Robin espy'd	I
Cry'd Master what is your will	J
We thought you had in danger been	B
Your horn did sound so shrill	J
	-
Now nay now nay ' quoth Robin Hood	I
The danger is past and gone	B
I would have you to welcome my nephew here	K
That hath paid me two for one '	-
	-
In feasting and sporting they passed the day	I
Till Phoebus sunk into the deep	L
Then each one to his quarters hy'd	I
His guard there for to keep	L
	-
Long had they not walked within the green wood	I
But Robin he was espy'd	I
Of a beautiful damsel all alone	B
That on a black palfrey did ride	I
	-
Her riding suit was of sable hew black	C
Sypress over her face	M
Through which her rose like cheeks did blush	N
All with a comely grace	M
	-
Come tell me the cause thou pritty one '	-
Quoth Robin aend tell me aright	I
From whence thou comest and whither thou goest	I
All in this mournful plight '	-
	-
From London I came ' the damsel reply'd	I
From London upon the thames	O
Which circled is O grief to tell	P
Besieg'd with forraign arms	Q
	-
By the proud Prince of Aragon	B
Who swears by his martial hand	I
To have the princess for his spouse	R
Or else to waste this land	I
	-
Except that champions can be found	I
That dare fight three to three	S
Against the prince and giants twain	B
Most horrid for to see	S
	-
Whose grisly looks and eyes like brands	T
Strike terrour where they come	U
With serpents hissing on their helms	V
Instead of feathered plume	W
	-
The princess shall be the victors prize	X
The king hath vowd and said	I
And he that shall the conquest win	B
Shall have her to his bride	I
	-
Now we are four damsels sent abroad	I
To the east west north and south	Y
To try whose fortune is so good	I
To find these champions forth	Z
	-
But all in vaine we have sought about	I
Yet none so bold there are	A2
That dare adventure life and blood	I
To free a lady fair '	-
	-
When is the day ' quoth Robin Hood	I
Tell me this and no more '	-
On Midsummer next ' the damsel said	I
Which is June the twenty four '	-
	-
With that the teares trickled down her cheeks	B2
And silent was her tongue	C
With sighs and sobs she took her leave	C2
Away her palfrey sprung	C
	-
This news struck Robin to the heart	I
He fell down on the grass	D2
His actions and his troubled mind	I
Shewd he perplexed was	E2
	-
Where lies your grief ' quoth Will Scadlock	C
O master tell to me	S
If the damsels eyes have piercd your heart	I
I'll fetch her back to thee '	-
	-
Now nay now nay ' quoth Robin Hood	I
She doth not cause my smart	I
But it is the poor distressed princess	F2
That wounds me to the heart	I
	-
I will go fight the giants all	G2
To set the lady free '	-
The devil take my soul ' quoth Little John	B
If I part with thy company '	-
	-
Must I stay behind ' quoth Will Scadlock	C
No no that must not be	S
I'le make the third man in the fight	I
So we shall be three to three '	-
	-
These words cheerd Robin at the heart	I
Joy shone within his face	M
Within his arms he huggd them both	H2
And kindly did imbrace	M
	-
Quoth he We'll put on mothly gray	I
With long staves in our hands	M
A scrip and bottle by our sides	M
As come from the Holy Land	I
	-
So may we pass along the high way	I
None will ask from whence we came	I2
But take us pilgrims for to be	S
Or else some holy men	B
	-
Now they are on their journey gone	B
As fast as they may speed	I
Yet for all haste ere they arriv'd	I
The princess forth was led	I
	-
To be deliverd to the prince	M
Who in the list did stand	I
Prepar'd to fight or else receive	C2
His lady by the hand	I
	-
With that he walkt about the lists	M
With giants by his side	I
Bring forth ' said he 'your champions	M
Or bring me forth my bride	I
	-
This is the four and twentieth day	I
The day prefixt upon	B
Bring forth my bride or London burns	M
I swear by Acaron '	-
	-
Then cries the king and queen likewise	M
Both weeping as they speak	C
Lo we have brought our daughter dear	J2
Whom we are forcd to forsake	C
	-
With that stept out bold Robin Hood	I
Crys My liege it must not be so	M
Such beauty as the fair princess	M
Is not for a tyrants mow	M
	-
The prince he then began to storm	K2
Crys Fool fanatick baboon	B
How dares thou stop my valours prize	M
I'll kill thee with a frown	B
	-
Thou tyrant Turk thou infidel '	-
Thus Robin began to reply	L2
Thy frowns I scorn lo here's my gage	M2
And thus I thee defie	C2
	-
And for these two Goliahs there	N2
That stand on either side	I
Here are two little Davids by	L2
That soon can tame their pride '	-
	-
Then did the king for armour send	I
For lances swords and shields	M
And thus all three in armour bright	I
Came marching to the field	I
	-
The trumpets began to sound a charge	O2
Each singled out his man	B
Their arms in pieces soon were hewd	I
Blood sprang from every vain	B
	-
The prince he reacht Robin a blow	M
He struck with might and main	B
Which forcd him to reel about the field	I
As though he had been slain	B
	-
God a mercy ' quoth Robin 'For that blow	M
The quarrel shall soon be try'd	I
This stroke shall shew a full divorce	M
Betwixt thee and thy bride '	-
	-
So from his shoulders he's cut his head	I
Which on the ground did fall	G2
And grumbling sore at Robin Hood	I
To be so dealt withal	G2
	-
The giants then began to rage	M2
To see their prince lie dead	I
Thou's be the next ' quoth Little John	B
Unless thou well guard thy head '	-
	-
With that his faulchion he whirld about	I
It was both keen and sharp	P2
He clove the giant to the belt	I
And cut in twain his heart	I
	-
Will Scadlock well had playd his part	I
The giant he had brought to his knee	S
Quoth he The devil cannot break his fast	I
Unless he have you all three	S
	-
So with his faulchion he run him through	Q2
A deep and gashly wound	I
Who damd and foamd cursd and blasphemd	I
And then fell to the ground	I
	-
Now all the lists with cheers were filld	I
The skies they did resound	I
Which brought the princess to herself	C2
Who was faln in a swound	I
	-
The king and queen and princess fair	N2
Came walking to the place	M
And gave the champions many thanks	M
And did them further grace	M
	-
Tell me ' quoth the king 'whence you are	A2
That thus disguised came	I2
Whose valour speaks that noble blood	I
Doth run through every vain '	-
	-
A boon a boon ' quoth Robin Hood	I
On my knees I beg and crave '	-
By my crown ' quoth the king I grant	I
Ask what and thou shalt have '	-
	-
Then pardon I beg for my merry men	B
Which are within the green wood	I
For Little John and Will Scadlock	C
And for me bold Robin Hood '	-
	-
Art thou Robin Hood ' then quoth the king	C
For the valour you have shewn	B
Your pardons I doe freely grant	I
And welcome every one	B
	-
The princess I promised the victors prize	M
She cannot have you all three	S
She shall chuse ' quoth Robin saith Little John	B
Then little share falls to me	S
	-
Then did the princess view all three	S
With a comely lovely grace	M
Who took Will Scadlock by the hand	I
Quoth Here I make my choice	M
	-
With that a noble lord stept forth	Z
Of Maxfield earl was he	S
Who lookt Will Scadlock in the face	M
Then wept most bitterly	S
	-
Quoth he I had a son like thee	S
Whom I lovd wondrous well	G2
But he is gone or rather dead	I
His name is Young Gamwell	G2
	-
Then did Will Scadlock fall on his knees	M
Cries Father father here	K
Here kneels your son your Young Gamwell	G2
You	Q2
