What saith a younger prophet’s zeal?
Not “go in peace” but “go to hell!”
“And would an hoary seer allow
That Naaman should to Rimmon bow?”
No; but he did his weakness spare,
Glad that his convert went so far,
The evil saw, the good confest,
And trusted God to do the rest.
What saith a younger prophet’s zeal?
