Metaphor in Context
Strike the flint of his heart on the steel
Of freedom; lawn sleeves be the tinder:
Well brimstone your match with his zeal,
And again make St. Paul's a huge cinder:
Rare news for the Shade of good Price!
With joy he will sing like a throstle:
So let Perigord post with advice,
To exhilarate Freedom's Apostle.
Of freedom; lawn sleeves be the tinder:
Well brimstone your match with his zeal,
And again make St. Paul's a huge cinder:
Rare news for the Shade of good Price!
With joy he will sing like a throstle:
So let Perigord post with advice,
To exhilarate Freedom's Apostle.
