And from that day, for evermore,
He’d forgiven Robin Hood.
Then [when] the people they did hear,
And [that] the truth was known,
They all did sing, God save the king !
Hang care, the town’s our own ! {321}
What’s that Robin Hood ? then said the sheriff,
That varlet I do hate ;
Both me and mine he caused to dine,
And serv’d us all with one plate.
