Some first thoughts were that it is a quote from Keats: Ode on a Grecian Urn (it's a Grecian urn) or his poem Robin Hood (since the original song alludes to Robin Hood), but neither fit the enumeration. I also looked through the entire text of Hamlet (since Ophelia starts singing the song in it), but again, nothing fits the enumerations.

Maybe the Greek key motif is relevant and you have to read the first line forwards, then the next line backwards, and so on?
