SCENE IX.

Enter Robin Hood and Leander.
R. Hood.
This Youth, who long has for your Daughter sigh'd,
Now sues by me, nor must he be deny'd:
Tho' Fortune like a Niggard play'd her Part,
Yet what are Riches to a noble Heart.
But you, Squire Ape, must leave your Horses here,
Your Rings, your Money, and your other Geer:
Trudge home on foot, and when you leave the Wood,
Tell all you see, You met with Robin Hood.

Glitter.
Sweet Sir, one Word.

R. Hood.
If one Word more you speak to change my Mind,
You, with your Clothes, shall leave your Skin behind.

AIR.
Glit.
Fast by some dashing Torrent,
That thunders o'er the Sea,
From Morn to Night I'll weep my Fate
Beneath a Willow-Tree.
Sighing, pining,
Weeping, whining,
Beneath a Willow-Tree.

Prim.
I pity much your Suff'rings;
O then be rul'd by me,
And put an end to all your Woes
Beneath a Willow-Tree.
Dingle dangle,
Dingle dangle,
Beneath a Willow-Tree.

[Exit Glitter.
