“‘Lo! these are my yeomen,’ said bold Robin Hood,
‘And thou shalt be one of the train,
A mantle and bow, and quiver also,
I give them whom I entertain.’
“The forester willingly entered the list,
They were such a beautiful sight;
Then with a long bow they shot a fat doe,
And made a rich supper that night,
“What singing and dancing was in the green-wood,
For joy of another new mate!
