这次有六只流浪狗被箭射死，修士说等一下，等一下兄弟，
till your master and I can come to a bargain and when the bargain was made,
要等到我和你的主人协商好，最终协商好了，
this was how it ran: that the friar was to leave Fountains Abbey and join Robin Hood,

laughed in scorn and told Little John that he should have three tries to his master's one, to which John agreed.

But Robin soon repented of his offer, for Little John speedily won the contest.

and he told Robin that he would never more own him for master, and turned back into the wood.

However, there he was, and there he meant to stay. He knelt down in the sight of all the people;
他来了，他打算待在这里，他在所有人面前跪下；
but only one man knew him, and that man stole out of church, ran to the Sheriff, and bade him come quickly and take his foe.
但只有一个人认识他，这个人悄悄地走出教堂，告诉了治安官，并让他快点来逮捕敌人。
The Sheriff was not slow to do what he was bidden. He called his men to follow him, and marched to the church.
治安官迅速做了他被禁止做的事，他叫了他的人跟着他，并向教堂走去。
The noise they made in entering caused Robin to look round. Alas, alas, he said to himself, now will I miss Little John.

But he drew his two-handed sword and fought so savagely that twelve of the Sheriff's men lay dead before him.
但他拿出了双手剑，向对方狠狠砍去，治安官的十二名随从在他面前死去。
