|
A voice of foul festivity hangs in the air devouring the squires of mercy |
|
Trembling near the gibbet gathering in the shadow of the gallows a stifling |
|
Silence overcomes the crowd as the deadman makes his first appearance on the scene |
|
Roars of support for the king demanding revenge on the traitor death is what |
|
They need to satisfy their hunger noose placed slowly around the throat a final |
|
Gaze moves across the crowd |
|
Forty thousand strong all anxious for the drop rows of corpses fill the elm |
|
Trees where they will remain for months |
