Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”

like a love letter into its envelope.”

a lordly dish.
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmens
hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sise-ra, she smote off his
head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.”
—Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 2526)
