"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."

"Is it a party in a parlour?

Cramm'd just as they on earth revere cramm'd—

Some sipping punch, some sipping tea,

But, as you by their faces see,

All silent and all damn'd!
