Whan Robyn came to Notyngham,
Sertenly withoutene layne,
He prayed to god and myld Mary
To brynge hym out saue agayne.
He gos into seynt Mary chirche,
And knelyd downe before the rode,
Alle that euer were the churche within
Beheld wel Robyne Hode.
Besyde hym stode a gret hedid munke,
I pray to god woo he be,
