Metaphor in Context
They desired a king: and God gave...them, &c.
--xiii. 21.
Ah, never Lord in anger grant
My foolish fond request,
But give whate'er Thou know'st I want,
Whate'er Thou know'st is best:
Happy I in Thy hands remain,
My king be Thou alone,
And in my humble heart maintain
Thine everlasting throne.
