and the friar pledged him in ale and wine�察�and exhorted him to make good 

cheer。 But the young man drank little�察�ate less�察�spake nothing�察�and every 

now and then sighed heavily。 

     When the repast was ended�察 �Now�察─�said Robin�察 �you are at liberty to 

pursue your journey�此         �but first be pleased to pay for your dinner。; 

     ;That would I gladly do�察�Robin�察─�said the young man�察 �but all I have 

about me are five shillings and a ring。 To the five shillings you shall be 

welcome�察�but for the ring I will fight while there is a drop of blood in my 

veins。; 

     ;Gallantly spoken�察─�said Robin Hood。                ;A love´token�察�without doubt�此�

but you must submit to our forest laws。              Little John must search�察�and if he 

find   no   more   than   you   say�察  �not   a   penny   will   I   touch�察  �but   if   you   have 

spoken false�察�the whole is forfeit to our fraternity。; 

     ;And with reason�察─�said the friar�察 �for thereby is the truth maintained 

The   abbot   of   Doubleflask   swore   there   was   no   money   in   his   valise�察  �and 

Little   John   forthwith   emptied   it   of   four   hundred   pounds。   Thus   was   the 

abbot's   perjury   but   of   one   minute's   duration�察  �for   though   his   speech   was 

false in the utterance�察�yet was it no sooner uttered than it became true�察�and 

we should have been participes criminis to have suffered the holy abbot to 

depart in falsehood�此�whereas he came to us a false priest�察�and we sent him 

away   a   true   man。     Marry�察  �we   turned   his   cloak   to   further   account�察  �and 

thereby   hangs   a   tale   that   may   be   either   said   or   sung�察  �for   in   truth   I   am 

minstrel here as well as chaplain�察�I pray for good success to our just and 

necessary warfare�察�and sing thanks´giving odes when our foresters bring in 

booty�此�

       Bold Robin has   robed him in   ghostly attire�察             �And   forth he is gone 

like a holy friar�察            �Singing�察�hey down�察�ho down�察�down�察�derry down�此�

And   of   two   grey   friars   he   soon   was   aware�察    �Regaling   themselves   with 

dainty fare�察           �All on the fallen leaves so brown。

what    make     you   in  the  good   greenwood�察            �Singing     hey   down�察   �ho 

down�察  �down�察  �derry   down�       �Now   give   me�察  �I   pray   you�察  �wine   and   food�察�

For none can I find in the good greenwood�察                   �All on the fallen leaves

       ;Good   brother�察─  �they   said�察   �we   would   give   you   full   fain�察�But   we 

have no more than enough for twain�察                  �Singing�察�hey down�察�ho down�察�

down�察�derry down。;         ;Then give me some money�察─�said bold Robin Hood�察�

;For none can I find in the good greenwood�察              �All on the fallen leaves so 

brown。; 

       ;No money have we�察�good brother�察─�said they�此              �Then�察─�said he�察 �we 

three   for   money   will   pray�此        �Singing�察  �hey   down�察  �ho   down�察  �down�察�

derry   down�此     �And   whatever   shall   come   at   the   end   of   our   prayer�察�We 

three   holy   friars   will  piously   share�察        �All   on   the   fallen  leaves   so 

brown。; 

       ;We will not pray with thee�察�good brother�察�God wot�此             �For truly�察�good 

brother�察  �thou   pleasest   us   not�察      �Singing   hey   down�察  �ho   down�察  �down�察�

derry down�此─      �Then up they both started from Robin to run�察               �But down 

on their knees Robin pulled them each one�察                   �All on the fallen leaves 

so brown。 

       The grey friars prayed with a doleful face�察           �But bold Robin prayed 

with a right merry grace�察             �Singing�察�hey down�察�ho down�察�down�察�derry 

down�此     �And   when   they   had   prayed�察  �their   portmanteau   he   took�察     �And 

from it a hundred good angels he shook�察                   �All on the fallen leaves so 

brown。 

       ;The   saints�察─  �said   bold   Robin�察  �have   hearkened     our   prayer�察  �And 

here's a good angel apiece for your share�此            �If more you would have�察�you 

must win ere you wear�此                �Singing hey down�察�ho down�察�down�察�derry 

down�此─     �Then he   blew his   good   horn   with   a   musical   cheer�察    �And   fifty 

green   bowmen   came   trooping   full   near�察     �And   away  the grey  friars they 

bounded like deer�察            �All on the fallen leaves so brown。

                            CHAPTER XIII 



       What   can   a   young   lassie�察  �what   shall   a   young   lassie�察�What   can   a 

young lassie do wi'an auld man��BURNS。 

       ;Here   is   but   five   shillings   and   a   ring�察─  �said   Little   John�察   �and   the 

young man has spoken true。; 

     ;Then�察─�said Robin to the stranger�察 �if want of money be the cause of 

your    melancholy�察     �speak。    Little    John   is  my    treasurer�察  �and   he   shall 

disburse to you。; 

     ;It is�察�and it is not�察─�said the stranger�察 �it is�察�because�察�had I not wanted 

money I had never lost my love�察�it is not�察�because�察�now that I have lost her�察�

money would come too late to regain her。; 

     ;In what way have you lost her�拭─�said Robin�此                 �let us clearly  know 

that she is past regaining�察�before we give up our wishes to restore her to 

you。; 

     ;She   is   to   be   married   this   day�察─  �said   the   stranger�察   �and   perhaps   is 

married by this�察�to a rich old knight�察�and yesterday I knew it not。; 

     ;What is your name�拭─�said Robin。 

     ;Allen�察─�said the stranger。 

     ;And where is the marriage to take place�察�Allen�拭─�said Robin。 

     ;At Edwinstow church�察─�said Allen�察 �by the bishop of Nottingham。; 

     ;I know that   bishop�察─�said Robin�察   �he dined with   me a  month   since�察�

and   paid   three   hundred   pounds   for   his   dinner。   He   has   a   good   ear   and 

loves music。 The friar sang to him to some tune。                 Give me my harper's 

cloak�察�and I will play a part at this wedding。 

     ;These are dangerous times�察�Robin�察─�said Marian�察 �for playing pranks 

out of the forest。; 

     ;Fear not�察─�said Robin�察 �Edwinstow lies not Nottingham´ward�察�and I 

will take my precautions。; 

     Robin put on his harper's cloak�察�while Little John painted his eyebrows 

and   cheeks�察  �tipped   his   nose   with   red�察  �and   tied   him   on   a   comely   beard。 

Marian confessed�察�that had she not been present at the metamorphosis�察�she

should   not   have   known   her   own   true   Robin。      Robin   took   his   harp   and 

went to the wedding。 

     Robin found the bishop and his train in the church porch�察�impatiently 

expecting the arrival of the bride and bridegroom。 The clerk was observing 

to the bishop that the knight was somewhat gouty�察�and that the necessity of 

walking the last quarter of a mile from the road to the churchyard probably 

detained   the   lively   bridegroom   rather   longer   than   had   been   calculated 

upon。 

     ;Oh� �by my fey�察─�said the music´loving bishop�察 �here comes a harper 

in the nick of time�察�and now I care not how long they tarry。 Ho� �honest 

friend�察�are you come to play at the wedding�拭─�

     ;I   am  come   to   play  anywhere�察─  �answered   Robin�察   �where   I   can get   a 

cup of sack�察�for which I will sing the praise of the donor in lofty verse�察�and 

emblazon him   with   any  virtue   which   he  may   wish   to have   the   credit   of 

possessing�察�without the trouble of practising。
