by Unknown

Yet I have those will take my part,

If I but blow my horn.

Thou wast not best wind thy horn, the stranger said,

Beest thou never so much in haste,

For I can draw out a good broad sword,

And quickly cut the blast.

Then Robin Hood bent a very good bow,

To shoot, and that he would fain ;

The stranger he bent a very good bow,

To shoot at bold Robin again.
