Metaphor in Context
And mayn't the fear of death be gone
From thousands as from only one:
Whose state is insecure?
Not sure where found the noble mind:
From vulgar dross and dregs refin'd:
High polish'd--and obdure!
From thousands as from only one:
Whose state is insecure?
Not sure where found the noble mind:
From vulgar dross and dregs refin'd:
High polish'd--and obdure!
