Metaphor in Context
"Since, then, th' Eternal Pow'r has stamp'd each mind,
"Pure and congenial, in one common mould,
"Henceforward may your virtues be combin'd!
"Oh! let your spirits, free and uncontroul'd,
"Their kindred gallantry and worth unfold:
"Let both obey approving Heav'n's behest!
"Angels and men with transport shall behold
"Your hands the ravages of war arrest,
"And peace again shall smile, and Judah shall be bless'd!"
