48 Wordsworth's "Peter Bell," composed in 1798, only published in 1819, and mocked by critics on its appearance. It tells of the religious conversion of an insensitive criminal, a potter, as he rides on an ass belonging to a man who has just drowned in the Swale just to tell his widow of this bad news.
26 Phoenix ?
Phoenix park is the place where Lord Cavendish and Thomas Burke, respectively Britain's chief secretary and under-secretary for Ireland, were murdered by the Invincibles in 1882. The Invincibles were a militant secret society who were at that time endeavoring to bring about a speedy Irish independence.
