When Allen-a-Dale went a-hunting,
\nHis bow was stout and strong,
\nAnd nought that was game escaped him,
\nThe bushes green among.
\nThe Abbot of Beverly cried, oh, fie!
\nAs he rode out to dine with a knight hard by;
\nBut Allen-a-Dale went a-hunting
\nOn the King’s highway.<\/p>\n

Who was the father of Allen-a-Dale?
\nHis sire was a Saxon and lord of the vale;
\nBut the Normans came down with their proud chivalry,
\nAnd they robb’d him, and slew him, and burnt his roof free!
\nSo Allen-a-Dale went a hunting on the King’s highway.<\/p>\n

What was the calling of Allen-a-Dale?
\nHe was a forester good,
\nA harper well skilled in ditty and tale,
\nAnd the comrade of bold Robin Hood.
\nAnd together they ranged the forest glade,
\nAnd shot their arrows free;
\nBut because he could sing like a minstrel king,
\nWhy Allen’s the boy for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
