Bold Robin Hood is gone to shore,

And took his bowe in his hand.

One of his best arrowes under his belt,

To the fryer he let fly;

The curtall fryer with his Steele buckler,

Did put that arrow by.

"Shoot on, shoot on, thou fine fellow,

Shoot as thou hast begun;

If thou shoot here a summer's day,

Thy marke I will not shun."
