Page:True tale of Robin Hood (1).pdf/19

  faithleſs Friar did pretend
 * in love to let him blood:

he by falſehood wrought the end
 * of famous Robin Hood

The Friar as ſome ſay did this to vindicate the wrong, Which to the clergy he and his
 * had done by power ſtrong,

Thus he died by trerchery
 * who could not die by force;

Had he lived longer certainly,
 * King Richard in remorſe,

Had unto favour him ,
 * his brave men clared:

'Tis pity he was of life bereav'd,
 * by one he ſo much hated.
