ROBYN HODE.

For I am Robyn Hode, chiefe governoure

Under the grene woode tree.

THE POTTER.

This seven yere have I used this way up and downe,

Yet payed I passage to no man,

Nor now I wyl not beginne, so do[345] the worst you can.

ROBYN HODE.

Passage shalt thou pai here under the grene-wode tre,

Or els thou shalt leve a wedde[346] with me.
