And two times in the year thy clothing I-changed should be ;

Twenty mark to thy fee.'— f Put up thy sword,' said the cook,
' And fellows will we be.'

The numbles of a doe, Good bread and full good wine,
They ate and drank thereto.

That they would be with Robin That ilk same day at night.

As fast as they might gone, The locks that were of good steel
They broke them every one;

And all that they might get, Pieces, masars, and spoons,
Would they none forget;
