This man
philosopher, mathematician and astronomer
said "the sun was a star"
but the Roman Inquisition
thought he'd gone to far
Found him guilty of heresy,
but you will never guess
what happened next?
Tongue imprisoned for
what it could say,
his life they would take,
and so poor Bruno was
burned at the stake.
