Be your strong and simple words Keen to wound as sharpened swords, And wide as targes let them be, With their shade to cover ye.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Strong, Simple, Shade
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1874). “The Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley”, p.234
Be your strong and simple words Keen to wound as sharpened swords, And wide as targes let them be, With their shade to cover ye.
