"As the wind blowes over the hill;

For iff itt be never so loude this night,

To morrow it may be still."

"Buske[19] yee, bowne[20] yee, my merry men all,

And John shall goe with mee,

For Ile goe seeke yon wighty[21] yeoman,

In greenwood where they bee."

Then they cast on theyr gownes of grene,

And tooke theyr bowes each one;
