My fortune hath bin so good; Therefore He not stay, but I will away
To the forrest of merry Sherwood."
And when to the forrest of Sherwood he came, He quickly there did see ro
His master good, bold Robin Hood, And all his company.
""What news? What news?" then said Robin Hood,
" Come, Little John, tell unto me ; How hast thou sped with thy beggers trade ? «

" No news but good," said Little John, " With begging ful wel I have sped;
Six hundred and three I have here for thee, In silver and gold so red. so

And danced about the oak tree : " If we drink water while this doth last,
Then an il death may we die." |
