To sup with you, for, to speak true,

[I] know you ne’er was base.

The sheriff [this] could not gainsay,

For a trick was put upon him ;

A supper was drest, the king was a guest,

But he thought ’twould have outdone him.

They are all gone to London court,

Robin Hood with all his train ;

He once was there a noble peer,

And now he’s there again. {322}
