"But what is thy name, good youth ?" "Men call me Robert o' Locksley," quoth bold Robin.
"Then, good Robert o' Locksley," quoth the Sheriff, "I will come this day to see thy horned beasts.

But first my clerk shall draw up a paper in which thou shalt be bound to the sale, for thou gettest not my money without I get thy beasts in return." Then Robin Hood laughed again.

"So be it," he said, smiting his palm upon the Sheriff's hand.
