"Mercy, which sign'd his soul's release, / Did pardon on his conscience seal:"
Metaphor in Context
Because thine heart was tender, and thou, &c.
--xxii. 19, 20.
How went he to his grave in peace,
Who by the sword in battle fell?
Mercy, which sign'd his soul's release,
Did pardon on his conscience seal:
He felt the peace of those that live
Triumphant in eternal day,
Peace which the world can never give,
Which death can never take away!

Triumphant in eternal day,
Peace which the world can never give,
Which death can never take away!
