"
Then
,
"
said
Little
John
,
"
for
joy
of
having
gotten
myself
into
thy
service
,
I
will
give
fat
steers
and
brown
ale
to
all
these
good
folk
,
to
make
them
merry
withal
.
"
At
this
arose
a
great
shout
,
many
casting
their
caps
aloft
,
for
joy
of
the
gift
.
442
Then

some

.
Then
,
when
they
had
eaten
and
drunk
as
much
as
they
could
,
and
when
the
day
faded
and
the
great
moon
arose
,
all
red
and
round
,
over
the
spires
and
towers
of
Nottingham
Town
,
they
joined
hands
and
danced
around
the
fires
,
to
the
music
of
bagpipes
and
harps
.
But
long

before

443
Thus
Little
John
entered
into
the
Sheriff
's
service
and
found
the
life
he
led
there
easy
enough
,
for
the
Sheriff
made
him
his
right-hand
man
and
held
him
in
great
favor
.
He
sat
nigh
the
Sheriff
at
meat
,
and
he
ran
beside
his
horse
when
he
went
a-hunting
;
so
that
,
what
with
hunting
and
hawking
a
little
,
and
eating
rich
dishes
and
drinking
good
sack
,
and
sleeping
until
late
hours
in
the
morning
,
he
grew
as
fat
as
a
stall-fed
ox
.
Thus
things
floated
easily
along
with
the
tide
,
until
one
day
when
the
Sheriff
went
a-hunting
,
there
happened
that
which
broke
the
smooth
surface
of
things
.

This
morning
the
Sheriff
and
many
of
his
men
set
forth
to
meet
certain
lords
,
to
go
a-hunting
.
He
looked

all
all
about

Little
Little
John
John
's
's
skill

to
to
his
his
noble
noble
friends

.
As
for
Little
John
,
he
lay
abed
,
snoring
lustily
,
till
the
sun
was
high
in
the
heavens
.
At
last
he
opened
his
eyes
and
looked
about
him
but
did
not
move
to
arise
.
Brightly
shone
the
sun
in
at
the
window
,
and
all
the
air
was
sweet
with
the
scent
of
woodbine
that
hung
in
sprays
about
the
wall
without
,
for
the
cold
winter
was
past
and
spring
was
come
again
,
and
Little
John
lay
still
,
thinking
how
sweet
was
everything
on
this
fair
morn
.
Just
then
he
heard
,
faint
and
far
away
,
a
distant
bugle
note
sounding
thin
and
clear
.
The
sound
was
small
,
but
,
like
a
little
pebble
dropped
into
a
glassy
fountain
,
it
broke
all
the
smooth
surface
of
his
thoughts
,
until
his
whole
soul
was
filled
with
disturbance
.
445
His
spirit
seemed
to
awaken
from
its
sluggishness
,
and
his
memory
brought
back
to
him
all
the
merry
greenwood
life
--
how
the
birds
were
singing
blithely
there
this
bright
morning
,
and
how
his
loved
companions
and
friends
were
feasting
and
making
merry
,
or
perhaps
talking
of
him
with
sober
speech
;
for
when
he
first
entered
the
Sheriff
's
service
he
did
so
in
jest
;
but
the
hearthstone
was
warm
during
the
winter
,
and
the
fare
was
full
,
and
so
he
had
abided
,
putting
off
from
day
to
day
his
going
back
to
Sherwood
,
until
six
long
months
had
passed
.
But
now
he
thought
of
his
good
master
and
of
Will
Stutely
,
whom
he
loved
better
than
anyone
in
all
the
world
,
and
of
young
David
of
Doncaster
,
whom
he
had
trained
so
well
in
all
manly
sports
,
till
there
came
over
his
heart
a
great
and
bitter
longing
for
them
all
,
so
that
his
eyes
filled
with
tears
.
Then
he
said
aloud
,
"
Here
I
grow
fat
like
a
stall-fed
ox
and
all
my
manliness
departeth
from
me
while
I
become
a
sluggard
and
dolt
.
But
I
will
arouse
me
and
go
back
to
mine
own
dear
friends
once
more
,
and
never
will
I
leave
them
again
till
life
doth
leave
my
lips
.
"
So
saying
,
he
leaped
from
bed
,
for
he
hated
his
sluggishness
now
.
446
When
he
came
came
downstairs
downstairs
he
he
saw
saw
the
the
Steward

standing
standing
near

a

with
with
a
a

bundle

of
of
keys

hanging

to

.
.
Then
Little
John
said
,
"
Ho
,
Master
Steward
,
a
hungry
man
am
I
,
for
nought
have
I
had
for
all
this
blessed
morn
.
Therefore
,
,
give
give
me
me
to

.
"
"
447
Then
the
Steward
looked
grimly
at
him
and
rattled
the
keys
in
his
girdle
,
for
he
hated
Little
John
because
he
had
found
favor
with
the
Sheriff
.
"
So
,
Master
Reynold
Greenleaf
,
thou
art
anhungered
,
art
thou
?
"
quoth
he
.
"
But
,
fair
youth
,
if
thou
livest
long
enough
,
thou
wilt
find
that
he
who
getteth
overmuch
sleep
for
an
idle
head
goeth
with
an
empty
stomach
.
For
what
sayeth
the
old
saw
,
Master
Greenleaf
?
Is
it
not
'
The
late
fowl
findeth
but
ill
faring
'
?

cried
Little

,
who
waxed
angry
by
this
time
.
