Metaphor in Context
But now Within there's Civil War,
In Arms my rebel Passions are,
Their old Allegiance laid aside,
The Traitors now in Triumph ride;
That many-headed Monster has thrown down
Its lawful Monarch Reason from its Throne.
In Arms my rebel Passions are,
Their old Allegiance laid aside,
The Traitors now in Triumph ride;
That many-headed Monster has thrown down
Its lawful Monarch Reason from its Throne.
