by Unknown

And ordayne good archeres inowe,

Of all the wyde countree.

The sheryf had his leve itake,

And went hym on his way :

And Robyn Hode to grene wode [went]

Upon a certayn day ;

And Lytell Johan was hole of the arowe,

That shote was in his kne,

And dyde hym strayte to Robyn Hode,

Under the grene wode tre.
