Metaphor in Context
Some, whose blank minds, no spark of mercy knew,
To horrid deeds of desperation slow,
And driv'n by hot-brain'd frenzy not a few,
To lift their hands, and strike the fatal blow.
To horrid deeds of desperation slow,
And driv'n by hot-brain'd frenzy not a few,
To lift their hands, and strike the fatal blow.
