“Richard Cœur de Lyon cald a king and conquerour was,
With Phillip king of France who did unto Jerusalemm passe:
In this king’s time was Robyn Hood, that archer and outlawe,
And little John his partener eke, unto them which did drawe
One hondred tall and good archers, on whom foure hondred men,
Were their power never so strong, could not give onset then;
The abbots, monkes, and carles rich these onely did molest,
And reskewd woemen when they saw of theeves them so opprest;
