Next to the merry month of May.

N summer time, when leaves grow green, And flowers are fresh and gay, Robin Hood and his merry men Were [aiij disposed to play.
II Then some would leap, and some would run,
And some use artillery : ' Which of you can a good bow draw,
A good archer to be ?
in ' Which of you can kill a buck ?
Or who can kill a doe ? Or who can kill a hart of grease,
Five hundred foot him fro ? '
IV
Will Scadlock he kill'd a buck,
And Midge he kill'd a doe, And Little John kill'd a hart of grease3
Five hundred foot him fro. |
