Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.
While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

In Sherwood Liude Stout Robin Hood
In Sherwood liude stout Robin Hood
An Archer great none greater.
His bow & shafts were sure & good,
Yet Cupids were much beter
Robin could shoot at many a Hart and misse,
Cupid at first could hit a hart of his,
Hey iolly Robin.
Hoe iolly Robin
Hey iolly Robin Hood.
Loue finds out me
As well as thee
To follow mee
To the green wood.
A noble thiefe was Robin Hoode,
Wise was he could deceiue him,
Yet Marrian in his brauest mood,
Could of his heart bereaue him,
No greater thiefe lies hidden vnder skies.
Then beauty closely lodgde in womens eyes.
Hey iolly Robin.
An Out-law was this Robin Hood,
His life free and vnruly,
Yet to faire Marrian bound he stood
And loues debt payed her duely.
Whom curbe of stricktest law could not hold in,
Loue with obeyednes and a winke could winne.
Hey iolly Robin.
Now wend we home stout Robin Hood
Leaue we the woods behind vs,
Loue passions must not be withstood,
Loue euery where will find vs,
I liude in field and towne, and so did he,
I got me to the woods, loue followed me.
