EPIGRAM by JOHN BYROM

Poet Analysis

First Line: SAFER TO RECONCILE A FOE, THAN MAKE
Last Line: BUT THAT DISARMS HIM OF THE VERY WILL.

SAFER to reconcile a foe, than make
A conquest of him for the conquest's sake;
This tames his @3pow'r@1 of doing present ill,
But that disarms him of the very @3will.@1
