Francis James Child

“ Make hast, make hast, and go along with me,
For the king of your doings shall know.'
He leand his back unto a brae,
His foot against a thorn,
And out from beneath his long shepherds coat
He pulled a blowing-horn. ”

“ Came riding up all in a row.
'Come, give us a reckoning,' says the Bishop,
'For I think you drink wondrous large:'
'Come, give me your purse,' said bold Robin Hood,
'And I will pay all your charge.'
He pulled off his long shepherds coat,
And he spread it on the ground,
And out of the Bishops long trunk-hose,
He pulled a hundred pound.
'O master,' quoth Little John,
'It's a very bony sight for to see;
It makes me to favour the Bishop,
Tho in heart he loves not me.'
'Come, sing us a mass,' sayes bold Robin Hood,
'Come, sing us a mass all anon ”
