Chastity is our forest law�察�and even the friar has kept it since he has been 

here。; 

     ;Truly     so�察─ �said   the  friar�此   �for   temptation     dwells    with   ease    and

luxury�此�but the hunter is Hippolytus�察�and the huntress is Dian。                And now�察�

dearly beloved; 

     The   friar   went   through   the   ceremony   with   great   unction�察  �and   Little 

John was most clerical in the intonation of his responses。 After which�察�the 

friar sang�察 �and   Little   John   fiddled�察 �and the   foresters danced�察 �Robin   with 

Marian�察�and Scarlet with the baron�察�and the venison smoked�察�and the ale 

frothed�察�and the wine sparkled�察�and the sun went down on their unwearied 

festivity�此�which they wound up with the following song�察�the friar leading 

and the foresters joining chorus�此�

       Oh� �bold Robin Hood is a forester good�察             �As ever drew bow in the 

merry  greenwood�此        �At   his   bugle's   shrill   singing   the   echoes   are   ringing�察�

The  wild   deer   are springing   for  many  a  rood�此      �Its   summons   we   follow�察�

through   brake�察  �over   hollow�察     �The   thrice´blown   shrill   summons   of   bold 

Robin Hood。 

       And    what   eye   hath   e'er  seen   such   a  sweet    Maiden    Queen�察    �As 

Marian�察  �the   pride   of   the   forester's   green�拭 �A  sweet   garden´flower�察  �she 

blooms in the bower�察         �Where alone to this hour the wild rose has been�此�

We hail her in duty the queen of all beauty�此           �We will live�察�we will die�察�by 

our sweet Maiden queen。 

       And here's a grey friar�察�good as heart can desire�察           �To absolve all our 

sins as the case may require�此          �Who with courage so stout�察�lays his oak´ 

plant    about�察    �And puts to the rout all the foes of his choir�此          �For we are 

his choristers�察�we merry foresters�察        �Chorussing thus with our militant friar 

       And   Scarlet   cloth   bring   his   good   yew´bough   and      string�察   �Prime 

minister is he of Robin our king�此          �No mark is too narrow for little John's 

arrow�察    �That hits a cock sparrow a mile on the wing�察            �Robin and Marion�察�

Scarlet�察�and Little John�察      �Long with their glory old Sherwood shall ring。 

       Each   a   good   liver�察  �for   well´feathered   quiver  Doth   furnish   brawn�察�

venison�察�and fowl of the river�此         �But the best game we dish up�察�it is a fat 

bishop�此     �When   his   angels   we   fish   up�察  �he   proves   a   free   giver�此�For   a 

prelate   so   lowly   has   angels   more   holy�察  �And   should   this   world's   false 

angels to sinners deliver。

                             CHAPTER XII 



       A single volume paramount�此�a code�此            �A master spirit�此�a determined 

road。    WORDSWORTH。 

       The   next   morning   Robin   Hood   convened   his   foresters�察  �and   desired 

Little John�察�for the baron's edification�察�to read over the laws of their forest 

society。 Little John read aloud with a stentorophonic voice。 

     ;At a high court of foresters�察�held under the greenwood tree�察�an hour 

after   sun´rise�察  �Robin    Hood     President�察  �William    Scarlet    Vice´President�察�

Little John Secretary�此      �the following articles�察�moved by Friar Tuck in his 

capacity     of  Peer   Spiritual�察  �and   seconded     by   Much     the  Miller�察  �were 

unanimously agreed to。 

     ;The principles of our society are six�此�Legitimacy�察�Equity�察�Hospitality�察�

Chivalry�察�Chastity�察�and Courtesy。 

     ;The articles of Legitimacy are four�此�

     ;I。 Our government is legitimate�察�and our society is founded on the one 

golden rule of right�察�consecrated by the universal consent of mankind�察�and 

by   the   practice   of   all   ages�察  �individuals�察  �and   nations�此�namely�察  �To   keep 

what we have�察�and to catch what we can。 

     ;II。   Our   government   being   legitimate�察  �all   our   proceedings   shall   be 

legitimate�此    �wherefore we declare war against the whole world�察�and every 

forester    is  by  this  legitimate    declaration    legitimately    invested    with   a 

roving commission�察�to make lawful prize of every thing that comes in his 

way。 

     ;III。   All forest laws but our own we declare to be null and void。 

     ;IV。    All   such   of   the   old   laws   of   England   as   do   not   in   any   way 

interfere with�察�or militate against�察�the views of this honourable assembly�察�

we will loyally adhere to and maintain。 The rest we declare null and void 

as far as relates to ourselves�察�in all cases wherein a vigour beyond the law 

may be conducive to our own interest and preservation。; 

     ;The articles of Equity are three�此�

     ;I。 The balance of power among the people being very much deranged�察�



                                              66

by one having too much and another nothing�察�we hereby resolve ourselves 

into a congress or court of equity�察�to restore as far as in us lies the said 

natural balance of power�察�by taking from all who have too much as much 

of the said too much as we can lay our hands on�察�and giving to those who 

have nothing such a portion thereof as it may seem to us expedient to part 

with。 

     ;II。   In   all   cases   a   quorum   of   foresters   shall   constitute   a   court   of 

equity�察  �and   as   many   as   may   be   strong   enough   to   manage   the   matter   in 

hand shall constitute a quorum。 

     ;III。   All usurers�察�monks�察�courtiers�察�and other drones of the great hive 

of   society�察  �who    shall   be  found    laden    with   any   portion    of  the  honey 

whereof      they   have   wrongfully     despoiled     the  industrious     bee�察 �shall   be 

rightfully   despoiled   thereof   in   turn�察  �and   all   bishops   and   abbots   shall   be 

bound and beaten�撮�5�А�especially the abbot of Doncaster�察�as shall also   all 

sheriffs�察�especially the sheriff of Nottingham。 

       ��5�А   �These   byshoppes   and   these   archbyshoppes   Ye   shall   them   bete 

and bynde�察─�

     says Robin Hood�察�in an old ballad。              Perhaps�察�however�察�thus is to be 

taken not in a literal�察�but in a figurative sense from the binding and beating 

of   wheat�此    �for   as   all   rich   men   were   Robin's   harvest�察  �the   bishops   and 

archbishops must have been the finest and fattest ears among them�察�from 

which Robin merely proposes to thresh the grain when he directs them to 

be bound and beaten�此�and as Pharaoh's fat kine were typical of fat ears of 

wheat�察�so may fat ears of wheat�察�mutatis mutandis�察�be typical of fat kine。 

       ;The articles of Hospitality are two�此�

     ;I。 Postmen�察�carriers and market´folk�察�peasants and mechanics�察�farmers 

and    millers�察   �shall  pass    through    our   forest   dominions      without    let  or 

molestation。 

     ;II。   All other travellers through the forest shall be graciously invited 

to partake of Robin's hospitality�察�and if they come not willingly they shall 

be compelled�察�and the rich man shall pay well for his fare�察�and the poor 

man shall feast scot free�察�and peradventure receive bounty in proportion to 

his desert and necessity。
