The potter schorteley to hem seyde,

Felow, what ys they well ?

All thes thre yer, and mor, potter, he seyde,

Thow hast hantyd thes wey,

Yet wer tow never so cortys a man

One peney of pauage to pay. {84}

What ys they name, seyde the potter,

For pauage thow aske of me ?

“Roben Hod ys mey name,

A wed schall thow leffe me.”
