Poem Not True to Facts.

In The poem the prisoner is rep.

brothers to share his fate and seeing
them die in chains. AS a matter OF
fact he was alone. and had consider
able freedom of action after the first
half of his Imprisonment. The verses
run:

In Gibbons dungeons deep and cold;
There arc seven columns, masSy and

Dim with a duh imprisond ray
And in each pillar there is a ring.
And in each ring there is "A chain:
