GOld tane from the Kings Harbengers, down a down a down, As seldome hath been seen, down a down a down, And carired by bold Robin Hood, for a present to the Queen; down a down a down. If that I live one year to an end, thus gan Queen Katherine say, Bold Robin Hood I will by thy friend, and all thy Yeomen gay. The Queen is to her Chamber gone, as fast as she can wen, She calls unto her lovely Page, his name was Richard Parington: Come hither to me my lovely Page, come thou hither to me: For thou must now to Notingham, as fast as thou canst dree, And as thou goest to Notingham search all those English Woods, Enquire of one good Yeoman or another, that can tell the of Robin Hood. Sometimes he went, sometimes he ran, as fast as he could wen: And when he came to Notingham, there he took up his Inn, And when he came to Notingham, and had took up his Inn, He calls for a Bottle of Rhenish wine, and drinks a health to his Queen. There sat a Yeoman by his side, tell me sweet Page said he, What is thy business or thy cause, so far in the North-Country. This is my business and my cause, for I tell it you for good,
To enquire of one good Yeoman or another, to tell me of Robin Hood. I'll get my Horse betimes in the morn, by it be break of day, And I will shew thee bold Robin Hood, and all his Yeomen gay, When that he came to Robin Hoods place, he fell down on his knee, Queen Katherine she doth greet you well, she greets you well by me. She bids you post to fair Lodon Court, not fearing any thing, For there shall be a little sport, and she hath sent you her Ring. Robin took his Mantle from his back, it was of Lincoln green, And sent it by this lovely Page, for a present to the Queen, In Summer time when leaves grow green, it was a seemly sight to see, How Robin Hood himself had drest, and all his Yeomandree. He cloathed his Men in Lincoln green and himself in Scarlet red, Black Hats, White Feathers all alike, now bold Robin is Rid. And when he came at Londons Court, he fell down on his Knee, Thou art welcome Locksly, said the Queen, and all thy Yeomandree. The King is gone to Finsbury field, down a down a down, Marching in Battle array, down a down a down, And after follows bold Robin Hood, and all his Yeomen gay.

COme hither Tepus, said the King down a down a down: Bow-bearer after me, down a down a down, Come measure me out with this Line, how long our mark shall be down a down a down. What is the wager, said the Queen? that must I now know here, Three hundered Tun of Rhenish Wine, Three hundred Tun of Beer. Three hundred of the fattest Harts, that run on Dallom Lee, That's a Princely Wager, said the King, that needs must I tell to the With that bespake one Clifton then, full quickly and full soon, Measure no mark for us most Sovereign Liege, we'l shoot at Sun and Moon, Full fifteen score your mark shall be, full fifteen score shall stand, I'le lay my Bow said Clifton then, i'le cleave the Willow-wand. With that the Kings Archers lead about, till it was three and none, With that the Ladies began to shout, Madam your Game is gone. A boon, a boon, Queen Katherine cries, I crave on my bear Knee, Is there ever a Knight of your Privy-Counsel; of Queen Katherines side will be? Come hither to me Sir Richard Lee, thou are an Knight full good: For I do know by thy Pedigree, thou sprangest from Gowers blood. Come hither to me thou Bishop of Hereford shire for a Noble Piiest was he: By my Silver Miter, said the Bishop then, i'le not bet one penny, The King hath Archers of his own, full ready and full light, And these be strangers every one no man knows what they height. What wilt thou bet said Robin Hood, thou seest our Game the worse, By my Silver Miter, said the Bishop then, all the money within my Purse. what is in it said Robin Hood, throw it down on the ground, Fifteenscore Nobles, said the Bishop then, it's near an hundred pound. Robin Hood took his bag from his side, and threw it down on the ground.
Will Scadlock went smiling away, I know who this Money must win. With that the Kings Archers led about, while it was three and three, With that the Ladies gave a shout, Woodcock beware thy knee, It is three and three now said the King, the next three pays for all; Robin Hood went & whispered to the Queen the Kings shall be but small. Robin Hood he led about, he shot it underhand, And Clifton with a bearing Arrow, he clave the Willow Wand. And little Midge the Millers son, he shot not much the worse, He shot within a finger of the Prick, now Bishop beware thy purse. A boon, a boon, Queen Katherine cries; I crave on my bare knee, That you would angry be with none, that is of my party. They shall have forty days to come, and forty days to go, And three times forty to sport and play, then welcome every one. then thou art welcome R. Hood said the Queen and so is little John, So is Midge the Millers Son, thrice welcome every one. Is this Robin Hood? the King said now, for it was told to me, That he was slain in the Palace gate, so far in the North-Country, Is this Robin Hood quoth the Bishop then, as I see well to bee, Had I known it had been that bold Outlaw, I would not a bet one penny. He took me late on Saturday night, and bound me fast to a tree, And made me sing a mass, God wot, to him and his Yeomen three. What and if I did, then says Robin Hood, of that Mass I was full fain: For recompence to thee he says, here's half the gold again. Now nay, now nay, says little John, down a down a down, Master that may not be, Down, a down, a down, We must give gifts to the Kings Officers, that gold will serve thee and me. Down, a down, a down.
