“How like you my horn’d beasts, good master sheriff ?

They be fat and fair for to see.”

“I tell thee, good fellow, I would I were gone,

For I like not thy company.”

Then Robin set his horn to his mouth,

And blew but blasts three ;

Then quickly anon there came Little John,

And all his company. {180}

What is your will, master ? then said Little John,

Good master, come tell unto me.
