O that were great shame said jolly Robin we being thrée and thou but one &c. The Pinder leapt back then thirty good foot , t was thirty good foot and one . &c. He leaned his back fast unto a Thorn , and his foot unto a stone , &c. And there he fought a tong Summers day , a Summers day so long , c. &c. Till that their Sworde on their broad Bucklers were broken fast unto their hands , &c. Hold thy hand hold thy hand said Robin Hood and my merry men euery one , &c. For this is one of the best Pinders , that ever I try'd with Sword , &c. And wilt thou forsake thy Pinder his craft , and live in gréen wood with me , &c. At Michaelmas next my Cov'nant comes out , when every man gathers his Fee , &c. I le take my blew Blade all in my hand , and plod to the Gréen wood with thee , &c. Hast thou either meat or drink laid Robin Hood for my merry men and me , &c. I have both bread and béef said the Pinder , And good Ale of the best &c. And that is meat good enough sai● Robin Hood for such unbidden guest &c. O wilt thou forsake thy Pinder his craft And go to the gréen wood with me &c. Thou shalt have a Livery twice in the year , the one gréen the other brown . the one gréen the other brown , If Michaelmas day were once come and gone , And my Master had paid me my fee And my Master had paid me my fée , Then would I set as little by him As my Master doth set by my As my master doth set by me
