ROBIN HOOD’S GOLDEN PRIZE
#a.# Wood, 401, leaf 39 b.
#b.# Garland of 1663, No 14.
#c.# Garland of 1670, No 13.
#d.# Pepys, II, 114, No 101.
Also Roxburghe, III, 12, 486; Old Ballads, 1723, II, 121; Douce, III,
121, London, by L. How, of the last century.
Ritson’s Robin Hood, 1795, II, 97, from #a#, with changes. Evans, Old
Ballads, 1777, 1784, I, 160, agrees nearly with the Aldermary garland.
Entered, says Ritson, in the Stationers’ book, by Francis Grove, 2d
June, 1656.[118] Being directed to be sung to the tune “R. H. was a tall
young man,” that is, R. H.’s Progress to Nottingham, this ballad is the
later of the two.
