Robin could shoot at many a hart and miss,
Cupid at first could hit a heart of his.
R: Hey, jolly Robin Hood!

No greater thief lies hidden under skies,
Than beauty closely lodged in woman's eyes.

Yet to fair Marian bound he stood,
And love's debt paid he duly;
Whom curb of strictest law could not hold in.
Love to obedience with a wink could win,
R:
