Thryes thorow at them he ran,

Ther for sothe as I yow say,

And woundyt many a modur sone,

And xii he slew that day. {375}

His sworde vpon the schireff hed

Sertanly he brake in too ;

The smyth that the made, seid Robyn,

I pray god [354] wyrke hym woo.

For now am I weppynlesse, seid Robyne,

Alasse agayn my wylle ;
