ALL Gentlemen and Yeomen good, Down, a down, a down, I wish you to draw near; For a story of bold Robin Hood Unto you I will declcare; Down, a down, a down. As Robin Hood walkd the Forrest along some Pastime for to spy, There was he aware of a jolly Shepherd, that on the ground did lie. Arise, arise, said jolly Robin, and now come let me see What is in thy Bag and thy Bottle, I say, come, tell it unto me. Whats that to thee, thou proud Fellow tell me as I do stand, What hast thou to do with my bottle and Bag let me see at thy command
My Sword that hangeth by my Side is my command I know, Come let me taste of thy Bottle or it may bleed thee Woe The Devil a Drop, thou proud Fellow of my Bottle thou shalt see Until thy Valour here be tryd whether thou wilt fight or flee. What shall we fight for? said Robbin Hood come quickly tell it unto me: Heres twenty Pounds in good red Gold win it, and take it thee. The Shepherd stood all in amaze, and knew not what to say I have no Money thou proud Fellow but Bottle and Bag Ill lay
I am cont[e]nt, thou Shepherd Swain fling them down on the Ground, But it will breeh thee mickle Pain to win my twenty Pound. Come draw thy Sword, thou proud Fellow thou standest too long to prate, This Hook of mine shall let thee know a Coward I do hate, So they fell to it full hard and sore it was on a Summers Day From Ten till Four in the Afternoon the Shepherd held him in Play Robins Buckler proved his chief Defence and saved him many a bang; For every Blow the Shepherd gave, made Robins sword cry Twang. Many a sturdy blow the Shepherd gave, and that bold Robin found; Til the Blood ran trickling from his Head then he fell to the Ground, [A]rise, arise, thou proud Fellow, and thou shalt have fair play, If thou wilt yield before thou go, that I have won the Day. A Boon, a Boon, cryd bold Robin, if that a Man thou be, Then let me take my bugle Horn, and blow out Blasts three. Then said the Shepherd to bold Robin, To that I will agree! For if thou shouldst blow till to morrow Morn I scorn one Foot to flee. Then Robin he set his Horn to his Mouth, and he blew with Might and Main, Until he espied Little John, come tripping over the Plain. Who is yonder, thou proud Fellow, that comes down yonder Hill? Yonder is John, bold Robin Hoods Man, shall fighat thee with thy Fill.
What is the Matter, said Little John, Master, come tell unto me My Case is bad, said Robin Hood, for the Shepherd hath conquerd me. I am glad of that, cries Little John, Shepherd, turnt thou to me, For a Bout with thee I mean to heave, either come fight or flee: With all may Heart, thou proud Fellow, for it shall never be said, That a Shepherds Hook at thy sturdy Look, Will one Jot be dismayd. So they fell to it full hard and sore, striving for Victory: I Will know (says John) ere we give or, whether thou wilt fight or flee. The Shepherd gave John a sturdy Blow, With the Hook under his Chin, Beshrew thy Herat, said Little John, thou basely dost begin: Nay, that is nothing, said the Shepherd, either yield to me the Day, Or I will bang thy Back and Sides, before thou goest thy Way. What dost thou think, thou proud Fellow, that thou canst conquer me; Nay, thou shalt know before thou go, Ill fight before Ill flee. Again the Shepherd laid on him the Shepherd he begun Hold thy Hand, cryd jolly Robin I will yeild the Wager won. With all my Heart, said little John, to that I will agree For he is the Flower of Shepherds Swain the like I neer did see. Thus have you heard of Robin Hood also of little John How a Shepherd swain did conquer them the like was never known?
