They laid him out upon the floor,

To work him further woe,

And still, as signs of life appear'd,

They toss'd him to and fro.

They wasted, oer a scorching flame,

The marrow of his bones;

But a miller used him worst of all—

He crushed him between two stones.

And they hae ta'en his very heart's blood

And drank it round and round;
