Versos English Robert Browning Iii

English poem

Iii

by

Listen in the reader

In the midst is a goodly gallows built; 'Twixt fork and fork, a stake is stuck; But first they set divers tumbrils a-tilt, Make a trench all round with the city muck; Inside they pile log upon log, good store; Faggots no few, blocks great and small, Reach a man's mid-thigh, no less, no more,-- For they mean he should roast in the sight of all.

CHORUS.

We mean he should roast in the sight of all.
