Robin askt him courteously,
O, hast thou any money to spare
For my merry men and me ?
I have no money, the young man said,
But five shillings and a ring ;
And that I have kept this seven long years,
To have it at my wedding.
Yesterday I should have married a maid,
But she from[296] me was tane,
And chosen to be an old knights delight,
