They call’d aloud to those bold outlàws,
And charged them to stand. {270}
Why, who are you, cry’d bold Robìn,
That ‘speak’ so boldly here ?
“We three belong to King Henry,
And are keepers of his deer.”
The devil ‘you are !’ sayes Robin Hood,
I am sure that it is not so ;
We be the keepers of this forrèst,
And that you soon shall know.
