BELL:
Well: they were none of mine. Last night I slept âNeath Winterâs Stob ... JIM: Whatâs that to do with me? BELL: I slept till midnight, when a clank of chains Awakened me: and, looking up, I saw A body on the gibbet ... JIM: A body, woman? No manâs hung there this hundred-year. BELL: I saw A tattered corpse against the hagging moon, Above me black. JIM: You didnât see the face? BELL: I saw its face--before it disappeared, And left the gibbet bare. JIM: You kenned the face? |
