To the greene fforrest soe pleasant and fayre;
To haue the harts chased, the daintye does tripping,
To merry Sherwood his nobles repayre;
Hauke and hound was vnbound, all things prepared
For the same to the game with good regard.

All a longe summers day rode the king pleasantlye,
With all his princes and nobles eche one,
Chasing the hart and hind and the bucke gallantlye,
Till the darke euening inforced them turne home.
