And some the waving of a gown:
The guests in silence prayed and shook,
And terror dimmed each lofty look,
But none of all the astonished train
Was so dismayed as Deloraine,
&c. &c.
At length, by fits, he darkly told,
With broken hint, and shuddering cold,
That he had seen, right certainly,
A shape with amice wrapped around,
