Note 103 — 123 ROBIN HOOD AND THE CURTAL FRIAR

Reading edition

I suppose that it must already have been pointed out that the story of King Ramiro, versified by Southey from the Portuguese, Poetical Works, 1838, VI, 122, is a variety of that of Solomon. There are curious points of resemblance between ‘R. H. rescuing Three Squires’ and the conclusion of the story of Solomon.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
