530 PART SECOND We left our Hero in a trance, Beneath the alders, near the river; The Ass is by the river side, And, where the feeble breezes glide, Upon the stream the moonbeams quiver. IN PART SECOND WE LEFT OUR HERO IN A TRANCE BENEATH THE ALDERS NEAR THE RIVER THE ASSES BY THE RIVER SIDE AND WHERE THE FEEBLE BREEZES GLIDE UPON THE STREAM THE MOONBEAMS QUIVER
 a gallows [53] there portrayed? Is Peter of himself afraid? Is it a coffin,--or a shroud? 505 A grisly idol hewn in stone? Or imp from witch's lap let fall? Perhaps a ring of shining fairies? Such as pursue their feared vagaries [54] In sylvan bower, or haunted hall? 510 Is it a fiend that to a stake Of fire his desperate self is tethering? Or stubborn spirit doomed to yell In solitary ward or cell, Ten thousand miles from all his brethren? 515 [55] Never did pulse so quickly throb, And never heart so loudly panted; [56] He looks, he cannot choose but look; Like some one reading in a book--[57] A book that is enchanted. 520 Ah, well-a-day for Peter Bell! He will be turned to iron soon, Meet Statue for the court of Fear! His hat is up--and every hair Bristles, and whitens in the moon! 525 He looks, he ponders, looks again; He sees a motion--hears a groan; His eyes will burst--his heart will break-- He gives a loud and frightful shriek, And back he falls, [58] as if his life were flown!  PART SECOND OF PETER BELL BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THIS LIBER OF OX RECORDING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMA
