The fryer tooke Robin on's backe againe,
And stept in to the knee,
'Till he came at the middle streame,
Neither good nor bad spake he;
And comming to the middle streame,
There he threw Robin in;
"And chuse thee, chuse thee, fine fellow,
Whether thou wilt sink or swim."
Robin Hood swam to a bush of broome,
The fryer to a wigger[36] wand;
