Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brother Fabian's Manuscript: And Other Poems
Straight, Blaize, our Abbot, red with saintly wrath, Summons us all to meet him; reads the charge, And bids us all digest it 5 storms and fumes, Dubs us all liars, hypocrites, and fools 5 Swears he foretold the issue. There was one, A lurching, lean - lipped lollardizing loon, Whom we all hated Brother Joce, quoth Blaize, Some blatant lollard slanderer of the faith N o doubt hath played the spy on us, and blabbed. My lord Archbishop sneaps us for our sloth 5 't is time I startled some of ye Suppose I take and roast you for a heretic? Pitch you like Prophet Jonas to the whale, And still the storm you have raised about our ears T ake rede, Sir Lollard So he frowned and left, And hastened to Saint Wigbald's through the fields.
