But Little John shall bear my bow
Till that me list to draw."
"Thou shall bear thine own," said Little John,
"Master, and I will bear mine;
And we will shoot a penny," said Little John,
"Under the green wood line."
"I will not shoot a penny," said Robin Hood,
"In faith, Little John, with thee,
But ever for one as thou shoots," said Robin,
"In faith I hold thee three."
