An out-law was this Robin Hood,

His life free and unruly ;

Yet to faire Marrian bound he stood,

And loves debt payed her duely.

Whom curbe of stricktest law could not hold in

Love with obeyednes and a winke could winne.

Hey jolly Robin.

Now wend we home, stout Robin Hood,

Leave we the woods behind us ;

Love-passions must not be withstood,
