NIGHTMARE ABBEY
MAID MARIAN.
[“The bramble, the bramble, the bonny forest bramble]
[The courtly pad doth amble]
[But wherefore does the sheep wear wool?]
[The rose on the nose doth all virtues disclose]
[The damsel stood to watch the fight]
[For the slender beech and the sapling oak]
[The love that follows fain]
[For hark! hark! hark!]
[Then follow, oh follow! the hounds do cry]
[Though I be now a grey, grey friar]
[An archer keen I was withal]
[A staff, a staff, of a young oak graff]
[Drink and sing, and eat and laugh]
[For I must seek some hermit cell]
[Oh! bold Robin Hood is a forester good]
[Bold Robin has robed him in ghostly attire]
[Over, over, over, jolly, jolly rover]
[A damsel came in midnight rain]
[It was a friar of orders free]
[When the wind blows, when the wind blows]
[Ye woods, that oft at sultry noon]

The Works of Thomas Love Peacock
[For hark! hark! hark!]
For hark! hark! hark!
The dog doth bark,
That watches the wild deer's lair.
The hunter awakes at the peep of the dawn,
But the lair it is empty, the deer it is gone,
And the hunter knows not where.
