THE CHASE OF THE METAPHOR, by RICHARD BLACKMORE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: The stones and all the elements with thee
Last Line: Job.
Subject(s): Metaphor; Similes
First Line: The stones and all the elements with thee
Last Line: Job.
Subject(s): Metaphor; Similes
THE stones and all the elements with thee
Shall ratify a strict confederacy;
Wild beasts their savage temper shall forget,
And for a firm alliance with thee treat;
The finny tyrant of the spacious seas
Shall send a scaly embassy for peace;
His plighted faith the crocodile shall keep,
And seeing thee, for joy sincerely weep.
JOB.
