THE CHASE OF THE METAPHOR by RICHARD BLACKMORE

Poet Analysis

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.
