The Ingoldsby Legends | ||
Out spake Frère Jehan, A pitiful man,
Oh! a pitiful man was he!
And he wept and he pined For the sins of mankind,
As a Friar in his degree.
“Remember, good gentlefolks,” so he began,
“Dear Aloys was always a pitiful man!—
That voice from his chest Has clearly exprest
He has pardoned the culprit—and as for the rest,
Before you shall burn him—he'll see you all blest!”
