Robin Hoods DirgeAnthony Munday (15531633) and Henry Chettle (c. 1564c. 1607)
W
Your hands with sorrow wring;
Your master Robin Hood lies dead,
Therefore sigh as you sing.
His bent bow and his arrows keen,
His good sword and his holy cross:
Now cast on flowers fresh and green.
Well-a, well-a-day, well-a, well-a-day:
Thus cast ye flowers fresh and sing,
And on to Wakefield take your way.
