Sad Shepherd, The, or A Tale of Robin Hood, an unfinished pastoral tragi-comedy by
Jonson, written
c.1635, printed 1641.
Robin has invited the shepherds and shepherdesses of the Vale of Belvoir to a feast in Sherwood Forest. Aeglamour, the Sad Shepherd, relates the loss of his beloved Earine, believed drowned in the Trent. In reality she has been shut up in an oak tree by the witch Maudlin as prey for her son Lorel, a swineherd. The witch, in the form of Maid Marian, abuses Robin Hood and throws his guests into confusion, but her wiles are detected and Robin's huntsmen pursue her.
