" Now holde your handes," cried Robin Hood, " For ye have oken staves ; ro
But tarie till wee can get but three, And a fig for all your braves."
Of the peddlers the first, his name Kit o Thirske,

Soe to it they fell, and their blowes did ring well
Uppon the others backes ; And gave the peddlers cause to wish
