At
this
,
one
would
nudge
another
with
his
elbow
,
saying
,
"
Go
thou
,
Ned
!
"
or
"
Go
thou
,
Thomas
!
"
but
no
lad
cared
to
gain
a
cracked
crown
for
nothing
.
Presently
Eric
saw
where
Little
John
stood
among
the
others
,
a
head
and
shoulders
above
them
all
,
and
he
called
to
him
loudly
,
"
Halloa
,
thou
long-legged
fellow
in
scarlet
!
Broad
are
thy
shoulders
and
thick
thy
head
;
is
not
thy
lass
fair
enough
for
thee
to
take
cudgel
in
hand
for
her
sake
?
In
truth
,
I
believe
that
Nottingham
men
do
turn
to
bone
and
sinew
,
for
neither
heart
nor
courage
have
they
!
Now
,
thou
great
lout
,
wilt
thou
not
twirl
staff
for
Nottingham
?
"
"
Ay
,
"
quoth
Little
John
,
"
had
I
but
mine
own
good
staff
here
,
it
would
pleasure
me
hugely
to
crack
thy
knave
's
pate
,
thou
saucy
braggart
!
I
wot
it
would
be
well
for
thee
an
thy
cock
's
comb
were
cut
!
"
Thus
he
spoke
,
slowly
at
first
,
for
he
was
slow
to
move
;
but
his
wrath
gathered
headway
like
a
great
stone
rolling
down
a
hill
,
so
that
at
the
end
he
was
full
of
anger
.
Then
Eric
o
'
Lincoln
laughed
aloud
.
"
Well
spoken
for
one
who
fears
to
meet
me
fairly
,
man
to
man
,
"
said
he
.
"
Saucy
art
thou
thine
own
self
,
and
if
thou
puttest
foot
upon
these
boards
,
I
will
make
thy
saucy
tongue
rattle
within
thy
teeth
!
"
"
Now
,
"
quoth
Little
John
,
"
is
there
never
a
man
here
that
will
lend
me
a
good
stout
staff
till
I
try
the
mettle
of
yon
fellow
?
"
At
this
,
half
a
score
reached
him
their
staves
,
and
he
took
the
stoutest
and
heaviest
of
them
all
.
Then
,
looking
up
and
down
the
cudgel
,
he
said
,
"
Now
,
I
have
in
my
hand
but
a
splint
of
wood
--
a
barley
straw
,
as
it
were
--
yet
I
trow
it
will
have
to
serve
me
,
so
here
goeth
.
"
Thereupon
he
cast
the
cudgel
upon
the
stand
and
,
leaping
lightly
after
it
,
snatched
it
up
in
his
hand
again
.
Then
each
man
stood
in
his
place
and
measured
the
other
with
fell
looks
until
he
that
directed
the
sport
cried
,
"
Play
!
"
At
this
they
stepped
forth
,
each
grasping
his
staff
tightly
in
the
middle
.
Then
those
that
stood
around
saw
the
stoutest
game
of
quarterstaff
that
e
'
er
Nottingham
Town
beheld
.
At
first
Eric
o
'
Lincoln
thought
that
he
would
gain
an
easy
advantage
,
so
he
came
forth
as
if
he
would
say
,
"
Watch
,
good
people
,
how
that
I
carve
you
this
cockerel
right
speedily
"
;
but
he
presently
found
it
to
be
no
such
speedy
matter
.
Right
deftly
he
struck
,
and
with
great
skill
of
fence
,
but
he
had
found
his
match
in
Little
John
.
Once
,
twice
,
thrice
,
he
struck
,
and
three
times
Little
John
turned
the
blows
to
the
left
hand
and
to
the
right
.
Then
quickly
quickly
and
and
with
with
a
a
dainty
dainty
backhanded
backhanded
blow
,
,
he
he
rapped
rapped
Eric
Eric
beneath
beneath
his
his
guard
guard
so
so
shrewdly
shrewdly
that
that
it
it
made
made
his
his
head
head
ring
ring
again
again
.
.
Then
Then
Eric
Eric
stepped
back
back
to
to
gather
gather
his
wits
wits
,
,
while
while
a
a
great
great
shout
went
went
up
up
and
and
all
all
were
glad
glad
that
that
Nottingham
Nottingham
had
had
cracked
cracked
Lincoln
Lincoln
's
's
crown
crown
;
;
and
and
thus
thus
ended
ended
the
the
first
first
bout
bout
of
of
the
the
game
game
.
Then
presently
the
director
of
the
sport
cried
,
"
Play
!
"
and
they
came
together
again
;
but
now
Eric
played
warily
,
for
he
found
his
man
was
of
right
good
mettle
,
and
also
he
had
no
sweet
memory
of
the
blow
that
he
had
got
;
so
this
bout
neither
Little
John
nor
the
Lincoln
man
caught
a
stroke
within
his
guard
.
Then
,
after
a
while
,
they
parted
again
,
and
this
made
the
second
bout
.
Then
Then
for
for
the
third
third
time
time
they
they
came
came
together
together
,
,
and
and
at
at
first
first
Eric
Eric
strove
to
be
be
wary
wary
,
,
as
as
he
he
had
had
been
been
before
before
;
;
but
but
,
,
growing
growing
mad
mad
at
at
finding
finding
himself
himself
so
foiled
foiled
,
,
he
he
lost
lost
his
his
wits
wits
and
and
began
began
to
to
rain
rain
blows
blows
so
so
fiercely
fiercely
and
and
so
so
fast
fast
that
that
they
they
rattled
rattled
like
like
hail
hail
on
on
penthouse
roof
roof
;
;
but
but
,
,
in
in
spite
spite
of
of
all
all
,
,
he
he
did
did
not
not
reach
reach
within
within
Little
John
John
's
's
guard

.
.
Then
Then
at
at
last
last
Little
Little
John
John
saw
saw
his
his
chance
chance
and
and
seized
seized
it
it
right
right
cleverly
cleverly
.
.
Once
more
,
with
a
quick
blow
,
he
rapped
Eric
beside
the
head
,
and
ere
he
could
regain
himself
,
Little
John
slipped
his
right
hand
down
to
his
left
and
,
with
a
swinging
blow
,
smote
the
other
so
sorely
upon
the
crown
that
down
he
fell
as
though
he
would
never
move
again
.
Then
the
people
shouted
so
loud
that
folk
came
running
from
all
about
to
see
what
was
the
ado
;
while
Little
John
leaped
down
from
the
stand
and
gave
the
staff
back
to
him
that
had
lent
it
to
him
.
And
thus
ended
the
famous
bout
between
Little
John
and
Eric
o
'
Lincoln
of
great
renown
.
