Quoth Jolly Robin, a Keen Shot Indeed, if Thou Canst

Robin asked the stranger for a good bow and an arrow. The stranger said he would not strip him or beat him with bowstrings. Robin took up his own long gray goose shaft, well feathered and smooth. He shot so straight down the path that it clove the mark in the very centre. Then all the yemen leaped to their feet and shouted for joy at such a shot.
