The present plan was to go no further northwards
Three weeks had passed
Some years of her life
Now a few days

Her curiosity disappointed

Her heart glad
To see the burning grounds of Oakham Mount
Smoke could be seen
From one end of England to the other

Each cage held nothing more than scoundrels
Who made their living abducting innocents

Better to burn the guilty Fire Master

Cages and flames
A sense of joy ignited
Their putrid flesh nothing more than ash

The temper set off
Cheer and affection
And among themselves
Not one was sufficient enough to yield
