No maids have they forced against their will,
Nor with other mens wives have lain.
What have they done then ? said jolly Robìn,
Come tell me most speedily.
“Oh ! it is for killing the king’s fallow deer,
‘That’ [348] they are all condemned to die.” {367}
Get you home, get you home, said jolly Robìn,
Get you home most speedily,
And I will unto fair Nottingham go,
For the sake of the ’squires all three.
