sympathy and laughter from the audience--perhaps an audience including blacksmiths?The poem comes from the B.M. Arundel collection. [R.T.] Davies has modernised the spelling to a judicious extent, so that, with some glosses, the poem can be understood without too much brain-bursting. It's best read aloud, remembering that the "e" at the end of a word would have usually been sounded.
