by Unknown

Said Robin Hood, Lady fair, whither away ?

O whither, fair lady, away ?

And she made him answer, To kill a fat buck ;

For to-morrow is Titbury day.

Said Robin Hood, Lady fair, wander with me

A little to yonder green bower ;

There set down to rest you, and you shall be sure

Of a brace or a ‘leash’ [285] in an hour.

And as we were going towàrds the green bower,

Two hundred good bucks we espy’d ;
