Robin Hoods Chase . OR , A Merry Progress between Robin Hood and King Henry .

Shewing how Robin Hood led the King his Chase , from London to London , and when he had spoken with the Queen , he returned to merry Sherewood .

To the Tune of , Robin Hood and the beggar .

COme you gallants all , to you I do call with hey down , down , an a down , that now is within this place , For a song I will sing , of Henry the King , how he did Robin Hood chase . Queen Katherine she a match did make , with hey , &c. as pl●inly doth appear , For three hundred tun of good red Wine , and three hundred tun of beer . But yet her Archers she had to seek , with hey , &c. with their Bows and Arrows so good , But her mind was bent , with a good intent to send for bold Robin Hood . And when bold Robin hood he came there with hey , &c. Queen Katherine she did say : Thou art welcome Locksly said the Quéen and all thy Yeomen gay . For a match of shooting I have made , with hey , &c. and thou on my part must be : Robin . If , miss the mark , be it light or dark , then hanged I will be , But when the Game it come to be play'd with hey , &c. bold Robin then drew nigh , with his Mantle of green , most brave to be séen he let his Arrows flye . And when the Game it ended was , with hey , &c. bold Robin wan it with a grace , Then after the King was angry with him and vowed he would him chase . What though his pardon granted was , with hey down , &c. while he with them did stay , Yet after the King was vex'd at him , when he was gone his way . Soon after the King from the Court did hye , with hey , &c. in a furious angry mood , And did often enquire , both far and near , after bold Robin Hood . And when the King to Nottingham came with hey , &c. bold Robin was in the wood : O come now said he , and let me see , who can find me bold Robin Hood . But when that Robin Hood he did hear , with hey down , down an a down , the King had him in chase : Then said little John , 't is time to be gone and go to some other place .

THen away they went from merry Sherwood with hey down , &c. and into Yorkshire he did hye , And the King did follow , with a hoop and a hollow , but could not come him nigh . Yet jolly Robin he passed along , with hey , &c. he went to Newcastle town , And then stayed he , hours two or three , and then he for Barwick was gone . When the King did see how Robin did flee with hey , &c. he was vexed wondrous sore , With a hoop and a hollow , he vow'd him to follow , & take him , or never give o're . Come now let 's away , then cry'd Little John , with hey , &c. let any man follow that dare , To Carlisle we 'l hye , with our company , and so then to Lancaster . From Lancaster then to chester they went hey down , &c. and so did King Henry , Then Robin away , for he durst not stay , for fear of some treachery . Says Robin , let us to London go , with hey , &c. to see our noble Queens face , It may be she wants our company , which make the King so us chase . When Robin he came Quéen Katherine before with hey , &c. he fell low upon his knee , If it please your Grace , I am come to this place , for to speak with King Henry ; Quéen Katherine she answer'd bold Robin again , with hey , &c. the King is gone to merry Sherewood , And when he went away , to me he did say , he would go seek Robin Hood . Then fare you well my Gracious quéen , with hey , &c. for to Sherewood I will hye apace , For fain would I sée , what he would with me if I could méet his Grace . When as King Henry he came home , with hey , &c. full weary and full vexed in mind , Then he did hear , Robin had been there , and blamed Dame Fortune unkind . You are welcome home queen Katherine cry'd with hey , &c. Henry my Soveraign Liege , Bold Robin Hood , that archer good , your person hath been to seek . And when ●ing Henry he did hear , with hey , &c. that Robin had been there him to seek , This answer he gave , he 's a cunning knave I have sought him this whole thrée wéek A boon , a boon , Queen Ka●herine cry'd with hey , &c. I beg it here on your Grace , To pardon his life , and seek no more strife , and so endeth Robin Hoods Chase .
