Poem 968 – The Prey Becomes The Hunter (The Ballad of the Wake cont.)

But unbeknown to WilliamHis schemes were soon made known,He’d set a guard around the marsh,To catch Sir Hereward as he passed,But they were caught, indeed outclassed,And ambushed with a groan. The Earl’s trap is disarmed.(10.08.26) © Ben Quant 2026Photo by Luke Hodde on Unsplash
