He BE it right or wrong these men among	A
On women do complain	B
Affirming this how that it is	C
A labour spent in vain	B
To love them wele for never a dele	D
They love a man again	E
For let a man do what he can	F
Their favour to attain	B
Yet if a new to them pursue	G
Their first true lover than	F
Laboureth for naught for from her thought	H
He is a banished man	F
	-
She I say not nay but that all day	I
It is both written and said	J
That woman's faith is as who saith	K
All utterly decayd	J
But nevertheless right good witn ss	G
In this case might be laid	J
That they love true and continue	G
Record the Nut brown Maid	J
Which when her love came her to prove	L
To her to make his moan	M
Would not depart for in her heart	J
She loved but him alone	M
	-
He Then between us let us discuss	G
What was all the manere	N
Between them two we will also	G
Tell all the pain in fere	N
That she was in Now I begin	O
So that ye me answere	N
Wherefore all ye that present be	P
I pray you give an ear	N
I am the Knight I come by night	J
As secret as I can	F
Saying Alas thus standeth the case	G
I am a banished man	F
	-
She And I your will for to fulfil	D
In this will not refuse	G
Trusting to show in wordes few	G
That men have an ill use	G
To their own shame women to blame	Q
And causeless them accuse	G
Therefore to you I answer now	R
All women to excuse	G
Mine own heart dear with you what cheer	N
I pray you tell anone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He It standeth so a deed is do	G
Whereof great harm shall grow	N
My destiny is for to die	J
A shameful death I trow	N
Or else to flee The t' one must be	P
None other way I know	N
But to withdraw as an outl w	G
And take me to my bow	R
Wherefore adieu mine own heart true	G
None other rede I can	R
For I must to the green wood go	N
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She O Lord what is this worldis bliss	G
That changeth as the moon	R
My summer's day in lusty May	I
Is darked before the noon	R
I hear you say farewell Nay nay	I
We d part not so soon	R
Why say ye so whither will ye go	N
Alas what have ye done	R
All my welf re to sorrow and care	N
Should change if ye were gone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He I can believe it shall you grieve	S
And somewhat you distrain	R
But afterward your paines hard	J
Within a day or twain	R
Shall soon aslake and ye shall take	T
Comfort to you again	R
Why should ye ought for to make thought	J
Your labour were in vain	R
And thus I do and pray you to	G
As hartely as I can	R
For I must to the green wood go	N
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She Now sith that ye have showed to me	P
The secret of your mind	J
I shall be plain to you again	R
Like as ye shall me find	J
Sith it is so that ye will go	N
I will not live behind	J
Shall never be said the Nut brown Maid	J
Was to her love unkind	J
Make you ready for so am I	J
Although it were anone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He Yet I you rede to take good heed	J
What men will think and say	I
Of young of old it shall be told	J
That ye be gone away	I
Your wanton will for to fulfil	D
In green wood you to play	D
And that ye might for your delight	J
No longer make delay	D
Rather than ye should thus for me	P
Be called an ill wom n	R
Yet would I to the green wood go	N
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She Though it be sung of old and young	A
That I should be to blame	Q
Theirs be the charge that speak so large	U
In hurting of my name	Q
For I will prove that faithful love	V
It is devoid of shame	Q
In your distress and heaviness	I
To part with you the same	Q
And sure all tho that do not so	I
True lovers are they none	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He I counsel you Remember how	R
It is no maiden's law	D
Nothing to doubt but to run out	J
To wood with an outl w	-
For ye must there in your hand bear	N
A bow ready to draw	D
And as a thief thus must you live	W
Ever in dread and awe	X
Whereby to you great harm might grow	I
Yet had I liever than	R
That I had to the green wood go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She I think not nay but as ye say	I
It is no maiden's lore	N
But love may make me for your sake	T
As I have said before	N
To come on foot to hunt and shoot	J
To get us meat and store	N
For so that I your company	P
May have I ask no more	N
From which to part it maketh my heart	J
As cold as any stone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He For an outl w this is the law	D
That men him take and bind	J
Without pitie hang d to be	P
And waver with the wind	J
If I had need as God forbede	J
What socours could ye find	J
Forsooth I trow you and your bow	R
For fear would draw behind	J
And no mervail for little avail	D
Were in your counsel than	R
Wherefore I'll to the green wood go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She Right well know ye that women be	P
But feeble for to fight	J
No womanhede it is indeed	J
To be bold as a knight	J
Yet in such fear if that ye were	N
With enemies day and night	J
I would withstand with bow in hand	J
To grieve them as I might	J
And you to save as women have	Y
From death men many one	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He Yet take good hede for ever I drede	J
That ye could not sustain	R
The thorny ways the deep vall ys	I
The snow the frost the rain	R
The cold the heat for dry or wete	J
We must lodge on the plain	R
And us above no other roof	Z
But a brake bush or twain	R
Which soon should grieve you I believe	S
And ye would gladly than	R
That I had to the green wood go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She Sith I have here been partynere	N
With you of joy and bliss	I
I must als part of your woe	I
Endure as reason is	I
Yet I am sure of one pleas re	N
And shortly it is this	I
That where ye be me seemeth pard	J
I could not fare amiss	I
Without more speech I you beseech	A2
That we were shortly gone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He If ye go thyder ye must consider	N
When ye have lust to dine	R
There shall no meat be for to gete	J
Nether bere ale ne wine	R
Ne shet s clean to lie between	R
Made of thread and twine	R
None other house but leaves and boughs	I
To cover your head and mine	R
Lo mine heart sweet this ill di te	J
Should make you pale and wan	R
Wherefore I'll to the green wood go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She Among the wild deer such an arch re	N
As men say that ye be	J
Ne may not fail of good vitayle	D
Where is so great plent	J
And water clear of the rivere	N
Shall be full sweet to me	J
With which in hele I shall right wele	D
Endure as ye shall see	J
And or we go a bed or two	-
I can provide anone	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He Lo yet before ye must do more	N
If ye will go with me	J
As cut your hair up by your ear	N
Your kirtle by the knee	J
With bow in hand for to withstand	J
Your enemies if need be	J
And this same night before daylight	J
To woodward will I flee	J
If that ye will all this fulfil	J
Do it shortly as ye can	R
Else will I to the green wood go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She I shall as now do more for you	-
Than 'longeth to womanhede	J
To short my hair a bow to bear	N
To shoot in time of need	J
O my sweet mother before all other	N
For you I have most drede	J
But now adieu I must ensue	-
Where fortune doth me lead	J
All this make ye Now let us flee	J
The day cometh fast upon	R
For in my mind of all mankind	J
I love but you alone	R
	-
He Nay nay not so ye shall not go	I
And I shall tell you why	J
Your appetite is to be light	J
Of love I well espy	J
For right as ye have said to me	J
In likewise hardily	J
Ye would answere whosoever it were	N
In way of company	J
It is said of old Soon hot soon cold	J
And so is a wom n	R
Wherefore I to the wood will go	I
Alone a banished man	R
	-
She If ye	J
