388 EOBIN HOOD |

" 111 stick it on my arrows head,
And shoot it into the town ; The mark will show where it must go, ' Whenever it lights down."
The project it was well perform'd ; 125
The sheriff that letter had, Which when he read, he scratch'd his head,
And rav'd like one that's mad.
So we'll leave him chafing in his grease, Which will do him no good; iso
Now, my friends, attend, and hear the end Of honest Robin Hood. |
