    O, hark! what mean those yells and cries?
    His chain some furious madman breaks;
    He comes--I see his glaring eyes:
    Now, now, my dungeon grate he shakes.
    Help! Help! He's gone!--O fearful woe,
    Such screams to hear, such sights to see!
    My brain, my brain,--I know, I know
    I am not mad but soon shall be.
