EOBIN HOODS GOLDEN PKIZE. 305
And now before you do go hence, I am resolv'd to try."
When as the priests heard him say so,
Then they rode away amain; But Eobin Hood betook to his heels, *
And soon overtook them again.
Then Robin Hood laid hold of them both, And pull'd them down from their horse :
" 0 spare us, fryer!" the priests cry'd out, " On us have some remorse !" *»
" You said you had no mony," quoth he,
" Wherefore, without delay, We three will fall down on our knees,
And for mony we will pray."
The priests they could not him gainsay, « But down they kneeled with speed;
" Send us, O send us," then quoth they, " Some money to serve our need."
The priests did pray with a mournful chear, Sometimes their hands did wring; no
Sometimes they wept, and cried aloud, Whilst Robin did merrily sing.
When they had been praying an hours space, The priests did still lament; vol. v. 20 |
