“If it please your grace, I am come to this place
For to speak with king Henry.”
Queen Katherine answered bold Robin[310] again,
The king is gone to merry Sherwood ;
And when he went away to me he did say,
He would go and seek Robin Hood. {248}
“Then fare you well, my gracious queen,
For to Sherwood I will hye apace ;
For fain would I see what he would with me,
If I could but meet with his grace.”
