100 " There's no one shall wrong thee, friend, be not afraid ; These bowmen upon me do wait ; There's threescore and nine ; if thou wilt be mine, Thou shalt have my livery strait : ROBIN HOOD AND LITTLE JOHN. 221 " And other accoutrements fit for a man ; 105 Speak up, jolly blade, never fear. I'll teach you also the use of the bow, To shoot at the fat fallow-deer. " " here is my hand, " the stranger reply'd, " I'll serve you with all my whole heart ; no My name is John Little, a man of good met...tle ; Ne'er doubt me, for I'll play my part. " " His name shall be alter'd, " quoth William Stutely, " And I will his godfather be ; Prepare then a feast, and none of the least, us For we will be merry, " quoth he. They presently fetch'd in a brace of fat does, With humming strong liquor likewise ; They lov'd what was good ; so, in the green-wood, This pretty sweet babe they baptize. 120 He was, I must tell you, but seven foot high, And, may be, an ell in the waste ; A pretty sweet lad ; much feasting they had ; Bold Robin the christ'ning grac'd, With all his bowmen, which stood in a ring, 125 And were of the Nottingham breed ; Brave Stutely comes then, with seven yeomen, And did in this manner proceed.
