OF COMMON DEVOTION by FRANCIS QUARLES

Poet Analysis

First Line: OUR GOD AND SOLDIERS WE ALIKE ADORE
Last Line: OUR GOD'S FORGOTTEN, AND OUR SOLDIERS SLIGHTED.

Our God and soldiers we alike adore,
Ev'n at the brink of danger; not before:
After deliverance, both alike requited,
Our God's forgotten, and our soldiers slighted.
