by Unknown

And arowes let they glyde,

Many a kyrtell there was rent,

And hurt many a syde.

The outlawes shot was so stronge,

That no man myght them dryve,

And the proud sheryfes men

They fled away full blyve.[180] {54}

Robyn sawe the busshement to-broke,

In grene wode he wolde have be,

Many an arowe there was shot
