Answer:
The poem is a monologue of this 'patriot speaker' who narrates his tale to us as he has been taken to the scaffold to be executed publicly for his 'misdeeds'.

Answer:
a) Browning described the people watching the execution as 'palsied'. Only the old and riddled with disease could be bothered enough to watch the hanging. This contrasts with the importance of man; a man of power would have many watch his death. It's all gone wrong as nobody is on roof tops.
b) 'Scaffold' is a place where the criminals are hanged.
