| Robin Hood's Golden Prize. / He met two Priests upon the way, / And forced them with him to Pray, / For Gold they pray'd, and Gold they had, / Enough to make bold Robin glad: / His share came to four hundred pound / That then was told upon the ground: / Now mark and you shall here the jest, / You never heard the like exprest. | |
