For I have been wandring all this day,

And nothing could I get ;

Not so much as one poor cup of drink,

Nor bit of bread to eat.

Now, by our holy dame, the priests repli’d,

We never a peny have ;

For we this morning have been rob’d,

And could no money save. {251}

I am much afraid, said bold Robin Hood,

That you both do tell a lie ;
