IRHB comments
Alexander Barclay's Eclogues were written 1513-14. These lines are spoken by a shepherd. Though earlier sources mention "Robin et Marion", this is the first literary source to mention "Maid Marian" eo nomine. Possibly "some mery fit" is an allusion to the A Gest of Robyn Hode, which was divided into fyttes and was then in all probability the most well known Robin Hood poem.
