ROBERD THE ROBBER.
In the Vision of Piers Ploughman are two remarkable passages in which mention is made of "Roberd the robber," and of "Roberdes knaves."
"Roberd the robbere,
On Reddite loked,
And for ther was noght wherof
He wepte swithe soore."
Wright's ed., vol. i. p. 105.
"In glotonye, God woot,
Go thei to bedde,
