Litul John waxed wroth therwith,

And pulled out his bright bronde.

Were thou not my maister, seid litulle Johne,

Thou shuldis by hit ful sore,

Get the a man where thou wilt, Robyn,

For thou getes me no more. {373}

Then Robyn goes to Notyngham

Hymselfe mornynge allone,

And litulle Johne to mery Scherewode,

The pathes he knowe alkone.
