And there she blooded bold Robin Hood,

Whilst one drop of blood would run.

She blooded him in the vein of the arm,

And lock'd him up in the room;

There did he bleed all the live-long day,

Until the next day at noon.

He then bethought him of a casement door,

Thinking for to be gone;

He was so weak he could not leap,

Nor he could not get down.
