By EleazarDuring the Crusades (Thy faithful sons, whom Thou in love hast owned)
T
Behold! are strangled, burnt and racked and stoned;
Are broken on the wheel; like felons hung;
Or, living, into noisome charnels flung.
I see them yonder, of their eyes bereft,
And there their mangled limbs in twain are cleft.
Beneath the wine-press are their bodies drawn,
Crushed, drowned, or with harsh saws asunder sawn.
