by Unknown

Litulle Johne hase begyled the schereff,

In faith so hase he me.

Litulle Johne has begyled vs bothe,

And that fulle wel I se,

Or ellis the schereff of Notyngham

Hye hongut shuld he be.

I made hem zemen of the crowne,

And gaf hem fee with my hond,

I gaf hem grithe, seid oure kyng,

Thorowout alle mery Inglond.
