" 'What is in thy purse ? " said Eobin Hood, " Throw it downe on the ground."
" Fifteen score nobles," said the bishop ; iu " It's neere an hundred pound."
Robin Hood took his bagge from his side, And threw it downe on the greene;

While it was three and three ; With that the ladies gave a shout,
" Woodcock, beware thy knee! "

" The next three pays for all:" Robin Hood went and whisper'd the queen,
" The kings part shall be but small."
Robin Hood hee led about,
Hee shot it under hand ; im
And Clifton, with a bearing arrow,
Hee clave the willow wand.
