Sometimes they wept, and cried aloud,

Whilst Robin did merrily sing. {252}

When they had been praying an hours space,

The priests did still lament ;

Then quoth bold Robin, Now let’s see

What mony heaven hath us sent.

We will be sharers all alike

Of [the] mony that we have ;

And there is never a one of us

That his fellow shall deceive.
