NOTES TO CANTO FIFTH.
Again the litil geste of Robin Hood:
———By a bridge was a wrastling,
And there taryed was he,
And there was all the best yemen
Of all the west countrey.
A full fayre game there was set up,
A white bull up y-pight,
A great courser with sadle and brydle,
With gold burnished full bryght;
A payre of gloves, a red gold ringe,
A pipe of wyne good fay;
What man bereth him best I wis,
The prise shall bear away.
