That the king did say, such men as they
Live not in many lands.
Well, Robin Hood, then says the king,
If I could thy pardon get,
To serve the king in every thing
Would’st thou thy mind firm set ?
Yes, ‘with all’ my heart, bold Robin said,
So they flung off their hoods ;
To serve the king in every thing,
They swore they would spend their ‘bloods.’
