SCENE VII.

Robin Hood,
aside.
Brave Girl! I long to change this vile Disguise,
And bring her raptur'd Lover to her Eyes.

Primrose.
My Mistress gone, she order'd me to say,
She thinks your Locks, good Sir, are much too gray;
And she believes, if you some Weeks should tarry,
You'll very likely die before you marry.
AIR.
Dear Sir, be advis'd by a Friend,
Nor take a young Wife to your Bed;
If still you persist in your Choice,
Sir Knight, have a care of your Head.
Brisk Youth may at all times attempt,
Tho' oft they repent being wed;
Their Hearts but too often do ake,
With you, 'twill be Pain in your Head.

12

A Knight shou'd be arm'd cap-a-pee,
In Battles to strike us with Dread:
Go seek for your Spear and your Shield,
Your Wife will take care of your Head.
Then ne'er be dismay'd in the Field,
Tho' Numbers around you fall dead,
And Bullets shou'd fly thick as Hail,
There's nothing can damage your Head.

[Exit.
