The first good shot that Robin led,
Did not shoot an inch the prick fro;
Guy was an archer good enough,
But he could ne’er shoot so.

31.2,4 The ‘garland’ was simply a circular wreath, hung upon the ‘prick-wand,’ or upright stick.
The second shot Sir Guy shot,
He shot within the garland;
But Robin Hood shot it better than he,
For he clove the good prick-wand.
