COME you Gallants all, to you I call, With a hey down, down, and a down. that are now in this Place; For a Song I will sing of Henry our King, how he did bold Robin Hood chase. Queen Katherine she then a match did make, as plainly doth appear, For three hundred Tun of good Red Wine. and three hundred Tun of Beer:
But she had her Archers to seek. with their Bows and Arrows so good, But her mind it was bent, with a full intent, to send for bold Robin Hood. But when bold Robin Hood he came there, Queen Katherine she did say; Thou art welcome Locksly unto me, and thou on my part must be.
If I miss the Mark, be it light or dark, and all my Yeoman gay, For a Match of Shooting I have made, then hanged will I be. But when the Game was to be playd, Bold Robin Hood won it with a Grace; But after the King was angry with him, and vowed he would him chase, What tho his Pardon granted was, while he with them did stay. But yet the King was vexd with him, when he was gone away. Soon after the King from Court did hie, in a furious angry mood, And often enquireth both far and near, after bold Robin Hood. But when the King to Nottingham came, bold Robin Hood was in the Wood: O come, said he, and let me see who can find bold Robin Hood. But when bold Robin Hood he did hear the King had him in chace; Then said Little John, tis time to be gone, and go to some other Place. Then away they went from merry Sherwood, and into Yorkshire did hie, And the King did follow with a hoop and a hollow, but could not him come nigh. Yet jolly Robin he past along, and went strait to Newcastle Town, And there he stayd hours two or three, and then he for Berwick was gone. When the King he did see how Robin Hood did flee, he was vexed wondrous sore; With a hoop and a hollow he vowed to follow, and take him, or never give oer.
Come, now lets away, said Little John, let any Man follow that dare; To Carlisle well hie with our Company, and so then to Lancaste[r] From Lancaster then to Chester they went, and so did good King Henry: But Robin went away for he durst not stay, for fear of some Treachery. Says Robin, come let us to London go, to see our noble Queens face; It may be she wants our company, which makes the King us so chace. When Robin he came Queen Katherine before, he fell upon his Knee; May it please your Grace, I am come to this place, to speak with King Henry. Queen Katherine she answerd bold Robin again, the King is gone to merry Sherwood, And when he went away to me he said, he would go and seek Robin Hood. Then fare you well, my gracious Queen, for to Sherwood I will hie apace; For fain I would see what hed have with me, if I could but meet with his Grace. But when King Henry he came home, full weary and vexed in mind; And that he did hear Robin had been there, he blamed Dame Fortune unkind. Youre welcome home, Queen Katherine cryd, Henry, my Sovereign Leige; Bold Robin Hood, the Archer good, your Person hath been to seek. A boon, a boon, Queen Katherine cryd, I beg it here of your Grace, To pardon his Life, and seek not strife, and so ends Robin Hoods Chace.
