With malice mark'd by saintly show, And, while they offer'd safety's fame, Fear'd, lest their vengeance shoidd forego Its glutting in those tortur'd men, Who dar'd Rome's infamy to stem. — Again they heap'd the blazing fire, To vsTTUg thro' agonizing pain Some feint contrition of desire From soids, they dar'd not meet again ; But no : — the stem rebuke was stiU, " God wiU not tempt above his will, "— WUdly the fagot's blaze was wrapt Around those aged English brows. Vain did those prowling monk...s adapt Soft words of sorrow to their woes ; 84 Yet still they heard, " Avaunt, ye crew !— We pray to God through Christ for you. " Madden'd, they stirr'd the smould'ring blaze, Till their swoln bodies grasp'd their chains, And while each shrinking limb would raise Through writhing sinews' dreadfvd pains Its blacken'd remnants ; — stUl they hear Our Latimer his brother cheer. — " Cheer, brother Ridley, cheer ! we've lit " A brand, that never vnll expire, " No pow'r of Antichrist shall sit " In judgment o'er our country's fire, '' The fire of Gospel's liberty, — Cheer then !
