ROBIN HOOD AND THE JOLLY PINDAR OF WAKEFIELD

`BUT hold y . . hold y . . . ' says Robin,
`My merrymen, I bid yee,
For this is one of the best pindars
That euer I saw wiirth mine eye.

`But hast thou any meat, thou iolly pindar,
For my merrymen and me?'
. . . .
. . . .

`But I haue bread and cheese,' sayes the pindar,
`And ale all on the best:'
`That's cheere good enoughe,' said Robin,
`For any such vnbidden guest.

`But wilt be my man?' said good Robin,
`And come and dwell wirth me?
And twise in a yeere thy clothing shall be changed
If my man thou wilt bee,
The tone shall be of light Lincolne greene,
The tother of Picklory.'

`Att Michallmas comes a well good time,
When men haue gotten in their ffee;
I'le sett as litle by my master
As he now setts by me,
I'le take my benbowe in my hande,
And come into the grenwoode to thee.'
