Explore "Peter Bell the Third" by Percy Bysshe Shelley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
And Peter Bell, when he had been / With fresh-imported Hell-fire warmed, / Grew serious-from his dress and mien / 'Twas very plainly to be seen / Peter was quite reformed.
His eyes turned up, his mouth turned down; / His accent caught a nasal twang; / He oiled his hair; there might be heard [2] / The grace of God in every word / Which Peter said or sang.
