Cancelled Stanza of the Mask of Anarchy
[Published by H. Buxton Forman, “The Mask of Anarchy” (“Facsimile of Shelley’s manuscript”), 1887.]
(For Which Stanzas 68, 69 Have Been Substituted.)
From the cities where from caves,
Like the dead from putrid graves,
Troops of starvelings gliding come,
Living Tenants of a tomb.
