VII. ROBIN HOOD AND THE TINKER.

From an old black letter copy in the library of Anthony a Wood. The full title is—

“A new song to drive away cold winter,

Between Robin Hood and the jovial tinker :

How Robin by a wile

The Tinker he did cheat ;

But at the length as you shall hear

The Tinker did him beat ;
