"To stamp Fraternity on gen'rous hearts: [...] Celestial Charity to-night descends"
Metaphor in Context
To bid the rancour of ill-fortune cease,
To tell anxiety--I give thee peace,
To quell adversity--or turn her darts,
To stamp fraternity on gen'rous hearts:
For these high motives--these illustrious ends,
Celestial Charity to-night descends.
