Scene I. Near the place of the damned. Enter Werner and Spirit.

What piercing, stunning sounds assail my ear!

Wild shrieks and wrathful curses, groans and prayers,

A chaos of all cries! making the space

Through which they penetrate to flutter like

The heart of a trapped hare,--are revelling round us.

Unlike the gloomy realm we just have quitted,

Silent and solemn, all is restless here,
