FRIAR TUCK

The lad will not be long!

[Robin appears tottering and white at the mouth of the cave.]

MARIAN

[Running to him.]

O Robin, Robin,
You must not rise! Your wound!

ROBIN

[He speaks feverishly.]

Where can I rest
Better than on my greenwood throne of turf?
Friar, I heard them say they had some prisoners.
Bring them before me.

FRIAR TUCK
