Elizabeth who?
Elizabeth Hooton
Is that with one T or two?

Sent down
from this courtroom, whose
earlier judgement – You
rant
before the Lord, you
Quaker –
named a movement

Launched a man
into history

His disciple? (Or was she a mentor?)

She followed him
To here. Then from here.
Into prison. In Derby.
For a year? For reproving
the clergy.

Elizabeth.
