The Adventures of Robin Hood
In
merry
England
in
the
time
of
old
,
when
good
King
Henry
the
Second
ruled
the
land
,
there
lived
within
the
green
glades
of
Sherwood
Forest
,
near
Nottingham
Town
,
a
famous
outlaw
whose
name
was
Robin
Hood
.
No
archer
ever
lived
that
could
speed
a
gray
goose
shaft
with
such
skill
and
cunning
as
his
,
nor
were
there
ever
such
yeomen
as
the
sevenscore
merry
men
that
roamed
with
him
through
the
greenwood
shades
.
Right
merrily
they
dwelled
within
the
depths
of
Sherwood
Forest
,
suffering
neither
care
nor
want
,
but
passing
the
time
in
merry
games
of
archery
or
bouts
of
cudgel
play
,
living
upon
the
King
's
venison
,
washed
down
with
draughts
of
ale
of
October
brewing
.
Not

.
And
now
I
will
tell
how
it
came
about
that
Robin
Hood
fell
afoul
of
the
law
.
When
Robin
was
a
youth
of
eighteen
,
stout
of
sinew
and
bold
of
heart
,
the
Sheriff
of
Nottingham
proclaimed
a
shooting
match
and
offered
a
prize
of
a
butt
of
ale
to
whosoever
should
shoot
the
best
shaft
in
Nottinghamshire
.
"
Now
,
"
quoth
Robin
,
"
will
I
go
too
,
for
fain
would
I
draw
a
string
for
the
bright
eyes
of
my
lass
and
a
butt
of
good
October
brewing
.
"
So
up
he
got
and
took
his
good
stout
yew
bow
and
a
score
or
more
of
broad
clothyard
arrows
,
and
started
off
from
Locksley
Town
through
Sherwood
Forest
to
Nottingham
.
It
was
at
the
dawn
of
day
in
the
merry
Maytime
,
when
hedgerows
are
green
and
flowers
bedeck
the
meadows
;
daisies
pied
and
yellow
cuckoo
buds
and
fair
primroses
all
along
the
briery
hedges
;
when
apple
buds
blossom
and
sweet
birds
sing
,
the
lark
at
dawn
of
day
,
the
throstle
cock
and
cuckoo
;
when
lads
and
lasses
look
upon
each
other
with
sweet
thoughts
;
when
busy
housewives
spread
their
linen
to
bleach
upon
the
bright
green
grass
.
Sweet

.
As
thus
he
walked
along
with
a
brisk
step
and
a
merry
whistle
,
he
came
suddenly
upon
some
foresters
seated
beneath
a
great
oak
tree
.
Fifteen
there
were
in
all
,
making
themselves
merry
with
feasting
and
drinking
as
they
sat
around
a
huge
pasty
,
to
which
each
man
helped
himself
,
thrusting
his
hands
into
the
pie
,
and
washing
down
that
which
they
ate
with
great
horns
of
ale
which
they
drew
all
foaming
from
a
barrel
that
stood
nigh
.
Each
man
was
clad
in
Lincoln
green
,
and
a
fine
show
they
made
,
seated
upon
the
sward
beneath
that
fair
,
spreading
tree
.
Then
one
of
them
,
with
his
mouth
full
,
called
out
to
Robin
,
"
Hulloa
,
where
goest
thou
,
little
lad
,
with
thy
one-penny
bow
and
thy
farthing
shafts
?
"
Then
Robin
grew
angry
,
for
no
stripling
likes
to
be
taunted
with
his
green
years
.

Now

Then
one
who
held
a
horn
of
ale
in
his
hand
said
,
"
Ho
!

the
lad
!
Why
