104 A LYTELL GESTE OF ROBYN BODE.
Hedge ne dyche spared they none, That was them before.
" I make myn avowe to god," sayd Robyn, m
" The sheryf wolde I fayn se, And yf I may "hym take,
Iquyt than shall he bee."
And whan they came to Notyngham,
They walked in the strete, no
And with the proud sheryf, i-wys, Sone gan they mete.
" Abyde, thou proud sheryf," he sayd,
"Abyde and speake with me, Of some tydynges of our kynge, us

" This seven yere, by dere worthy god,
Ne yede I so fast on fote; I make myn avowe to god, thou proude sheryfe,
That is not for thy good." ix

An arrowe he drewe at his wyll, He hyt so the proud sheryf,
Upon the ground he lay full styll.
