“Now must your honour leave these mourning tunes, And thus by my areede you shall provide; {liii} Your plate and jewels ‘i wil’ straight packe up, And toward Notingham convey them hence. At Rowford, Sowtham, Wortley, Hothersfield, Of all your cattell mony shall be made, And I at Mansfield will attend your comming; Where weele determine which waie’s best to take. _Rob._ Well, be it so; a God’s name, let it be; And if I can, Marian shall come with mee. _John._ Else care will kill her; therefore if you please, At th’ utmost corner of the garden wall, Soone in the evening waite for Marian, And as I goe ile tell her of the place. Your horses at the Bell shall readie bee, I meane Belsavage,[41] whence, as citizens That ‘meane’ to ride for pleasure some small way, You shall set foorth.” The company now enters, and Robin charges them with the conspiracy, and rates their treacherous proceedings. Little John in attempting to remove the goods is set upon by Warman and the sheriff; and during the fray “Enter Prince John, Ely and the prior, and others.” Little John tells the prince he but defends the box containing his own gettings; upon which his royal highness observes, “You do the fellow wrong; his goods are his: You only must extend upon the earles. _Prior._ That was, my lord, but nowe is Robert Hood, A simple yeoman as his servants were.” Ely gives the prior his commission, with directions to make speed, lest “in his country-house all his heards be solde;” and gives Warman a patent “for the high sheriffewick of Nottingham.” After this, “Enter Robin like a citizen; and then the queen and Marian disguised for each other. Robin takes Marian, and leaves the queen to Prince John, who is {liv} so much enraged at the deception that he breaks the head of Ely’s messenger. Sir Hugh, brother to Lord Lacy, and steward to Ely, who had been deeply concerned in Huntington’s ruin, is killed in a brawl by Prince John, whom Ely orders to be arrested; but the prince, producing letters from the king revoking Ely’s appointment, “lifts up his drawne sworde,” and “Exit, cum Lester and Lacy,” in triumph. Then “Enter Robin Hoode, Matilda at one doore, little John and Much the Miller’s sonne at another doore.” After mutual congratulations, Robin asks if it be “――possible that Warman’s spite Should stretch so farre, that he doth hunt the lives Of bonnie Scarlet, and his brother Scathlock? _Much._ O, I, sir. Warman came but yesterday to take charge of the jaile at Notingham, and this daie, he saies, he will hang the two outlawes. . . . _Rob._ Now, by my honour’s hope, . . . He is too blame: say, John, where must they die?
