Robin Hood / A collection of all the ancient poems, songs, and ballads, now extant, relative to that celebrated English outlaw. To which are prefixed historical anecdotes of his life.

by Unknown

This outlaw was weary of the wood-side,

And chasing of the fallow-deere.

“The fisher-men brave more mony have

Than any merchants two or three ;

Therefore I will to Scarborough go,

That I a fisherman brave may be.”

This outlaw called his merry men all,

As they sate under the green-wood tree :

“If any of you have gold to spend,

I pray you heartily spend it with me.”
