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

He skipt, and leapt, and capered full high,

As he went along the street.

But when to the sheriffs doore he came,

There a gentleman fine and brave,

Thou beggar, said he, come tell unto me

What it is thou wouldest have.

No meat, nor drink, said Robin Hood then,

That I come here to crave ;

But to get the lives of yeomen three,

And that I fain would have.
