Came pryckynge on a rowe, {42}

And everych of them a good mantèll

Of scarlet and of raye,

All they came to good Robyn,

To wyte what he wolde say.

They made the monke to wasshe and wype,

And syt at his denere,

Robyn Hode and Lytel Johan

They served ‘him’ [165] bothe in fere.

Do gladly, monke, sayd Robyn.
