Poem By Hugh Chesterman
4 Answers
Hi does anyone have the words of the poem by Hugh Chesterman about King John signing the Magna Carta? I sort of know part of it but need the whole thing for a project.
In it are the words
Your name my liege to be writ just here,
A mere formality laughed De Bere
A stroke of the pen and the thing is done
said Hugo Baron of Harpenden.
Then I know the last line goes
So many people egging him on, I can't help feeling sorry for John.
Thank you.

Thank you Scorpio for your links, they helped
but not all the words.
I have done more research and found
The poem is called King John
starts with
John as a Tyrant, John was a tartar
John put his name to the great big charter.
Every baron from Thames to Tweed
followed the road to Runnymede.
I have searched everywhere and although some of the verses are
there, not the whole thing.
Any more ideas anyone? x
