[ INDEX OF FIRST LINES]

PAGE
As it befell in midsummer-time[197]
As it fell on a holy-day[216]
Ettrick Forest is a fair forest[183]
I heard a carping of a clerk[92]
In merry Scotland, in merry Scotland[213]
In summer, when the leavës spring[113]
In summer, when the shaws be sheen[96]
I will never eat nor drink, Robin Hood said[141]
Johnny he has risen up i’ the morn[178]
Lythe and listin, gentilmen[6]
Mery it was in grene forest[148]
Sir Walter Raleigh has built a ship[225]
Strike up, you lusty gallants[219]
