Ev- ans, Old Ballads, 1777, 1784, I, 200, appar- ently from an Aldermary garland. Mr Halliwell, in Notices of Fugitive Tracts, etc. , Percy Society, vol. Xxix. P. 19, refers to an edition of Robin Hood's Garland printed for James Hodges, at the Looking-glass, Lon- don-bridge, n. D. , as containing " the earliest copy yet known " of Robin Hood and the Ranger, but does not indicate how the alleged fact was ascertained. Inside of the cover of a is written, William Stukely, 1741. B ap- pears in adv...ertisements as early as 1753. Robin Hood, while about to kill deer, is forbidden by a forester, and claiming the for- est as his own, the cause has to be tried with weapons. They break their swords on one another, and take to quarter-staves. Robin Hood is so sorely cudgelled that he gives up the fight, declaring that he has never met with so good a man. He summons his yeomen with his horn ; the forester is induced to join them. 1 WHEN Phoebus had melted the sickles of ice, With a hey down, &c. And likewise the mountains of snow, Bold Robin Hood he would ramble to see, To frolick abroad with his bow.
