W:Sweet Robin, lend to me thy bow,
W:For I must now a-hunting with my lady go,
W:With my sweet lady go.
W:
W:And whither shall my lady go?
W:Sweet Welkin, tell it unto me;
W:And thou shalt have me hawk, my hound, and eke my bow,
W:To wait on thy lady.
W:
W:My lady will to Uppingham
W:To Uppingham forsooth will she;
W:And I myself appointed for to be the man,
W:To wait upon my lady.
W:
W:Adieu, good Wilkin, all beshrewed,
W:Thy hunting nothing pleaseth me;
W:But yet beware thy babbling hounds stray not abroad,
W:For angering of thy lady.
W:
W:My hounds shall be led in the line,
W:So well I can assure it thee;
W:Unless by view of strain some pursue I may find,
W:To please my sweet lady.
W:
W:With that the lady she came in,
W:And will'd them all for to agree;
W:For honest hunting never was accounted sin,
W:Nor never shall for me.
