_How Poor Robin won Five Shillings by kissing his Hostess._
Poor Robin, with some other of his mates, being drinking in an
ale-house, where was an exceeding tall hostess, one of them offered to
lay five shillings (because Poor Robin was low) that he should not kiss
her as he stood on the ground. Poor Robin accepted the challenge, and
covered the money. But when he went to kiss her, his mouth would not
reach higher than her apron string. Whereupon dropping a shilling on the
ground he made her stoop to lift it, then he clasped his arms round her
neck, gave her a kiss, and so won the wager.
