for very drollery of humor。 No man could look into his face and not feel his heartstrings tickled by the merriment of their look。 By his side lay a steel cap�察�which he had laid off for the sake of the coolness to his crown。 His legs were stretched wide apart�察�and betwixt his knees he held a great pasty compounded of juicy meats of divers kinds made savory with tender young onions�察�both meat and onions being mingled with a good rich gravy。 In his right fist he held a great piece of brown crust at which he munched sturdily�察�and every now and then he thrust his left hand into the pie and drew it forth full of meat�察�anon he would take a mighty pull at a great bottle of Malmsey that lay beside him。
;By my faith�察─�quoth Robin to himself�察 �I do verily believe that this is the merriest feast�察�the merriest wight�察�the merriest place�察�and the merriest sight in all merry England。 Methought there was another here�察�but it must have been this holy man talking to himself。;
So Robin lay watching the Friar�察�and the Friar�察�all unknowing that he was so overlooked�察�ate his meal placidly。 At last he was done�察�and�察�having first wiped his greasy hands upon the ferns and wild thyme ��and sweeter napkin ne'er had king in all the world���察�he took up his flask and began talking to himself as though he were another man�察�and answering himself as though he were somebody else。
;Dear lad�察�thou art the sweetest fellow in all the world�察�I do love thee as a lover loveth his lass。 La�察�thou dost make me shamed to speak so to me in this solitary place�察�no one being by�察�and yet if thou wilt have me say so�察�I do love thee as thou lovest me。 Nay then�察�wilt thou not take a drink of good Malmsey�拭 �After thee�察�lad�察�after thee。 Nay�察�I beseech thee�察�sweeten the draught with thy lips ��here he passed the flask from his right hand to his left��。 An thou wilt force it on me so�察�I must needs do thy bidding�察�yet with the more pleasure do I so as I drink thy very great health ��here he took a long�察�deep draught��。 And now�察�sweet lad�察�'tis thy turn next ��here he passed the bottle from his left hand back again to his right��。 I take it�察�sweet chuck�察�and here's wishing thee as much good as thou wishest me。; Saying this�察�he took another draught�察�and truly he drank enough for two。
All this time merry Robin lay upon the bank and listened�察�while his stomach so quaked with laughter that he was forced to press his palm across his mouth to keep it from bursting forth�察�for�察�truly�察�he would not have spoiled such a goodly jest for the half of Nottinghamshire。
Having gotten his breath from his last draught�察�the Friar began talking again in this wise�此 �Now�察�sweet lad�察�canst thou not sing me a song�拭�La�察�I know not�察�I am but in an ill voice this day�察�prythee ask me not�察�dost thou not hear how I croak like a frog�拭 �Nay�察�nay�察�thy voice is as sweet as any bullfinch�察�come�察�sing�察�I prythee�察�I would rather hear thee sing than eat a fair feast。 Alas�察�I would fain not sing before one that can pipe so well and hath heard so many goodly songs and ballads�察�ne'ertheless�察�an thou wilt have it so�察�I will do my best。 But now methinks that thou and I might sing some fair song together�察�dost thou not know a certain dainty little catch called `The Loving Youth and the Scornful Maid'�拭�Why�察�truly�察�methinks I have heard it ere now。 Then dost thou not think that thou couldst take the lass's part gif I take the lad's�拭�I know not but I will try�察�begin thou with the lad and I will follow with the lass。;
Then�察�singing first with a voice deep and gruff�察�and anon in one high and squeaking�察�he blithely trolled the merry catch of
THE LOVING YOUTH AND THE SCORNFUL MAID _HE ;Ah�察�it's wilt thou come with me�察�my love�拭 �And it's wilt thou�察�love�察�he mine�拭 �For I will give unto thee�察�my love�察 �Gay knots and ribbons so fine。 I'll woo thee�察�love�察�on my bended knee�察 �And I'll pipe sweet songs to none but thee。 Then it's hark� �hark� �hark� �To the winged lark And it's hark to the cooing dove� �And the bright daffodil Groweth down by the rill�察 �So come thou and be my love。
SHE ;Now get thee away�察�young man so fine�察 �Now get thee away�察�I say�察 �For my true love shall never be thine�察 �And so thou hadst better not stay。 Thou art not a fine enough lad for me�察 �So I'll wait till a better young man I see。 For it's hark� �hark� �hark� �To the winged lark�察 �And it's hark to the cooing dove� �And the bright daffodil Groweth down by the rill�察 �Yet never I'll be thy love。
HE ;Then straight will I seek for another fair she�察 �For many a maid can be found�察 �And as thou wilt never have aught of me�察 �By thee will I never be bound。 For never is a blossom in the field so rare�察 �But others are found that are just as fair。 So it's hark� �hark� �hark� �To the joyous lark And it's hark to the cooing dove� �And the bright daffodil Groweth down by the rill�察 �And I'll seek me another dear love。
SHE ;Young man�察�turn not so very quick away Another fair lass to find。 Methinks I have spoken in haste today�察 �Nor have I made up my mind_�察�_ And if thou only wilt stay with me�察 �I'll love no other�察�sweet lad�察�but thee_。;
Here Robin could contain himself no longer but burst forth into a mighty roar of laughter�察�then�察�the holy Friar keeping on with the song�察�he joined in the chorus�察�and together they sang�察�or�察�as one might say�察�bellowed��
;_So it's hark� �hark� �hark� �To the joyous lark And it's hark to the cooing dove� �For the bright daffodil Groweth down by the rill And I'll be thine own true love_。;
So they sang together�察�for the stout Friar did not seem to have heard Robin's laughter�察�neither did he seem to know that the yeoman had joined in with the song�察�but�察�with eyes half closed�察�looking straight before him and wagging his round head from side to side in time to the music�察�he kept on bravely to the end�察�he and Robin finishing up with a mighty roar that might have been heard a mile。 But no sooner had the last word been sung than the holy man seized his steel cap�察�clapped it on his head�察�and springing to his feet�察�cried in a great voice�察 �What spy have we here�拭�Come forth�察�thou limb of evil�察�and I will carve thee into as fine pudding meat as e'er a wife in Yorkshire cooked of a Sunday。; Hereupon he drew from beneath his robes a great broadsword full as stout as was Robin's。
;Nay�察�put up thy pinking iron�察�friend�察─�quoth Robin�察�standing up with the tears of laughter still on his cheeks。 ;Folk who have sung so sweetly together should not fight thereafter。; Hereupon he leaped down the bank to where the other stood。 ;I tell thee�察�friend�察─�said he�察 �my throat is as parched with that song as e'er a barley stubble in October。 Hast thou haply any Malmsey left in that stout pottle�拭�
;Truly�察─�said the Friar in a glum voice�察 �thou dost ask thyself freely where thou art not bidden。 Yet I trust I am too good a Christian to refuse any man drink that is athirst。 Such as there is o't thou art welcome to a drink of the same。; And he held the pottle out to Robin。
Robin took it without more ado and putting it to his lips�察�tilted his head back�察�while that which was within said ;glug� �lug� �glug� ─�for more than three winks�察�I wot。 The stout Friar watched Robin anxiously the while�察�and when he was done took the pottle quickly。 He shook it�察�held it betwixt his eyes and the light�察�looked reproachfully at the yeoman�察�and straightway placed it at his own lips。 When it came away again there was nought within it。
;Doss thou know the country hereabouts�察�thou good and holy man�拭─�asked Robin�察�laughing。
;Yea�察�somewhat�察─�answered the other dryly。
;And dost thou know of a certain spot called Fountain Abbey�拭�
;Yea�察�somewhat。;
;Then perchance thou knowest also of a certain one who goeth by the name of the Curtal Friar of Fountain Abbey。;
;Yea�察�somewhat。;
;Well then�察�good fellow�察�holy father�察�or whatever thou art�察─�quoth Robin�察 �I would know whether this same Friar is to be found upon this side of the river or the other。;
;That�察─�quoth the Friar�察 �is a practical question upon which the cunning rules appertaining to logic touch not。 I do advise thee to find that out by the aid of thine own five senses�察�sight�察�feeling�察�and what not。;
;I do wish much�察─�quoth Robin�察�looking thoughtfully at the stout priest�察 �to cross yon ford and strive to find this same good Friar。;
;Truly�察─�said the other piously�察 �it is a goodly wish on the part of one so young。 Far be it from me to check thee in so holy a quest。 Friend�察�the river is free to all。;
;Yea�察�good father�察─�said Robin�察 �but thou seest that my clothes are of the finest and I fain would not get them wet。 Methinks thy shoulders are stout and broad�察�couldst thou not find it in thy heart to carry me across�拭�
;Now�察�by the white hand of the holy Lady of the Fountain� ─�burst forth the Friar in a mighty rage�察 �dost thou�察�thou poor puny stripling�察�thou kiss´my´lady´la poppenjay�察�thouthou What shall I call thee�拭�Dost thou ask me�察�the holy Tuck�察�to carry
