APPENDIX THE PLAYE OF ROBYN HODE (vv. 121 ff.) As printed by Copland, at the end of his edition of the Gest, with a few corrections from White’s edition, 1634: Ritson’s Robin Hood, 1795, II, 199. I have not thought it necessary to collate Ritson’s reprint with Copland. The collations with White here are made with the undated copy in the Bodleian Library, Z. 3. Art. Seld. ROBYN HODE Lysten, to [me], my mery men all, v. 121 And harke what I shall say; Of an adventure I shall you tell, That befell this other daye. With a proude potter I met, And a rose-garlande on his head, The floures of it shone marvaylous freshe; This seven yere and more he hath used this waye, Yet was he never so curteyse a potter As one peny passage to paye. 130 Is there any of my mery men all That dare be so bolde To make the potter paie passage, Either silver or golde?
