A Passage from The Poem Incident of the French  Camp by Robert  Browning

YOU KNOW, WE FRENCH STORMED RATISBON:

A MILE OR SO AWAY,

ON A LITTLE MOUND, NAPOLEON

STOOD ON OUR STORMING DAY;

WITH NECK OUT-THRUST, YOU FANCY HOW,

LEGS WIDE, ARMS LOCKED BEHIND,

AS IF TO BALANCE THE PRONE BROW

OPPRESSIVE WITH ITS MIND

The words prone brow  were taken from Robert Browning's poem Incident of the French Camp. The poem portrays an act of chivalry, loyalty, sacrifice, and gallantry on the part of the young French Soldier. The German city of Ratisbon was seized by the French Army. After the success they had achieved, a young soldier who was brimming with pride and glory even though he was on the brink of death transmitted the news of the triumph to emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, and then breathed his last

Explanation:

• The poet describes the scene of the French assault on the German Ratisbon city in the lines provided for clarification. The French aggression was led by Marshal Lannes in 1783. The French emperor Napoleon stood on a hillock a mile away from the attack scene. He seemed in a reflective mood. He was standing on a mound with neck out thrust, arms locked, legs wide apart and so as to balance his prone brow. Prone brow here refers to brow (forehead) inclined down or accustomed  to contemplate on serious matters. Prone means lying flat, that is face downwards
• He appeared very worried and very keen to learn the battle's outcome. While he deeply thinking, a rider emerged from the clouds of fire and smoke. He was severely wounded, and therefore his lips clenched so tightly that no drop in blood passed his month. Something very important seemed to occupy his mind and maybe he was devising a future line of action and strategy
