Thus shet thei forthe these zemen too

Bothe at buske and brome,

Til litulle Johne wan of his maister

V s. to hose and shone.

A ferly strife fel them betwene

As they went bi the way ;

Litulle Johne seid he had won v shyllyngs,

And Robyn Hode seid schortly nay.

With that Robyn Hode lyed litul Jone,

And smote hym with his honde,
