Title
The awful sentence and lamentations of Keene
Description
This lamentation tells the story of a man named Keene, convicted of killing his wife's son and sentenced to execution at Horsemonger Lane Gaol. "Lamentations of Keene," is told from Keene's perspective and details his remorse for the murder and his dread of judgement. Whether or not it was actually written by Keene is doubtful, though balladeers did occasionally interview prisoners for an extra "edge."
