Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne

This is an Anglish translation of Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne, a story found in the manuscript British Library Add MSS 27879 from around 1650. It is believed that the story is much older than this surviving version. I've taken liberties to make it more comprehensible and to keep some of the lines rhyming.

As a personal preference I have opted: to use ⟨eCe⟩ and ⟨oCe⟩ instead of ⟨ee⟩ and ⟨oo⟩; to use ⟨oCe⟩ instead of ⟨oa⟩; to use ⟨e⟩, ⟨eCe⟩, or ⟨aCe⟩ instead of ⟨ea⟩, depending on vowel quality; to allow magic-E to appear after all consonant clusters. In other words, green, moon, goat, head, mead, great, mild, ground, moose, and wife become grene, mone, gote, hed, mede, grate, milde, grunde, mosse, and ƿiffe.
