To London with right good will ;

And Robin Hood he to the green-wood tree,

And there he was taken ill. {334}

He sent for a monk, to let him blood,

Who took his life away ;

Now this being done, his archers they run,

It was not a time to stay.

Some got on board, and cross’d the seas,

To Flanders, France, and Spain,

And others to Rome, for fear of their doom,
