KOBIN HOOD AND THE BISIIOP. 301
And for joy he had got Robin Hood,
He went laughing all the way. «
But as they were riding the forrest along,
The bishop he chanc'd for to see A hundred brave bowmen bold,
Stand under the green-wood tree.
" 0 who is yonder," the bishop then said, w
" That's ranging within yonder wood ? "
" Marry," says the old woman, "I think it to be A man call'd Robin Hood."
" Why, who art thou," the bishop he said,
" Which I have here with me ? " ™
" Why, I am an old woman, thou cuckoldy bishop; Lift up my leg and see."
" Then woe is me," the bishop he said,
" That ever I saw this day ! " He turn'd him about, but Robin Hood stout «
Call'd him, and bid him stay.
Then Robin took hold of the bishops horse,
And ty'd him fast to a tree; Then Little John smil'd his master upon,
For joy of that company. so |
