Answer:
The patriot, in Browning’s poem, says that as he has not got recognition for what all he has done in this world and as people have misunderstood his deeds and punished him, God will repay him in the heaven after his death. So, he feels safer now to surely go to heaven and win God’s grace there.
The irony involved here is a dramatic irony, I feel. This is because the other people present there don’t know his feelings and thoughts at the moment. Though the patriot thinks himself lucky and safer for the treatment he receives, the masses gathered there definitely don’t think his way.
