Metaphor in Context
1
THE Great Jehovah! who shall dare
With him to tempt unequal War?
What Heart of Steel shall dare t'oppose
And league among his hard'ned Foes?
2
At his Command the Lightnings dart,
And swift transfix the rebel Heart:
Earth trembles at his Look, and cleaves,
And Legions sink in living Graves.
