As kings with rebels Mun, our right prevails, We have good Robin Hood and little Iohn, The Friar and the good Maid; marrian. Why our Lluellen is a mighty man. Trust me my Lord, methinks 'twere very good That some good fellows went and scoured the wood, And take in hand to cudgel Robin Hood. I think the Friar for all his lusty looks, Nor Robin rule with their gleams and hooks, But would be quickly driven to the nooks. I can assure your highness what I know, The false Lluellen will not run nor go Or give an inch of ground come man for man, Nor that proud rebel called little Iohn, To him that wields the massiest sword of England, Welshman, how wilt thou that we understand, But for Lluellen, David I deny, England hath men will make Lluellen fly, Maugre his beard and hide him in a hole, Weary of England's dints and manly dole. Gloster, grow not so hot in England's right, That paints his honour out in every sight. By Gis fair Lords ere many days be passed, England shall giue this Robin Hood his breakefall. David, be secret friend to that I say, And if I use thy skill thou knowest the way. Where this proud Robin and his yeomen roam. I do my Lord and blindfold thither can I run. David enough, as I am a Gentleman, I'll have one merry flirt with little Iohn, And Robin Hood, and his Maid marrian, Be thou my counsel and my company, And thou mayst England's resolution see. May it please your majesty, here are 4. good Squires of the Cantréds where they do dwell, come in the name of the whole country to gratulate unto your highness all your good fortunes, and by me offer their most humble service to your young son their Prince, whom they most heartily beseech God to bless with long life and honour. Well said Sussex I pray bid them come tear, Sir Dan trust me, this is kindly done of your country me. Villains, Traitors to the ancient glory and renown of Cambria, Morris Vaughan art thou there, and thou proud Lord of Anglesey. The poor country of Cambria by us unworthy messengers, gratulates to your majesty the birth of your young son Prince of Wales, and in this poor priest express their most zealous duty and affection, which with all humbleness we present to your highness sweet and sacred hands. Gramercis Barons for your gifts and good wills, by this means my boy shall wear a Mantle of countries weaving to keep him warm, and live for England's honour and Cambria's good, I shall not need I trust courteously to invite you, I doubt not Lords but you will be all in readiness to wait on your young Prince and do him honour at his christening.
