William Tell Told Again

   "HERE! HI!" SHOUTED THE SOLDIERS, "STOP!" [Plate IV]

   THEY SAW FRIESSHARDT RAISE HIS PIKE, AND BRING IT DOWN WITH ALL HIS

   FORCE ON TELL'S HEAD [Plate V]

   "LOOK HERE!" HE BEGAN. "LOOK THERE!" SAID FRIESSHARDT [Plate VI]

   FRIESSHARDT RUSHED TO STOP HIM [Plate VII]

   THE CROWD DANCED AND SHOUTED [Plate VIII]

   "COME, COME, COME!" SAID GESSLER, "TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT" [Plate IX]

   "I HAVE HERE AN APPLE" [Plate X]

   THERE WAS A STIR OF EXCITEMENT IN THE CROWD [Plate XI]

   A MOMENT'S SUSPENSE, AND THEN A TERRIFIC CHEER AROSE FROM THE

   SPECTATORS [Plate XII]

   "SEIZE THAT MAN!" HE SHOUTED [Plate XIII]

   HE WAS LED AWAY TO THE SHORE OF THE LAKE [Plate XIV]

   TELL'S SECOND ARROW HAD FOUND ITS MARK [Plate XV]

   The Swiss, against their Austrian foes,

   Had ne'er a soul to lead 'em,

   Till Tell, as you've heard tell, arose

   And guided them to freedom.

   Tell's tale we tell again—an act

   For which pray no one scold us—
