Abraham to kill him <br />Was distinctly told— <br />Isaac was an Urchin— <br />Abraham was old— <br /> <br />Not a hesitation— <br />Abraham complied— <br />Flattered by Obeisance <br />Tyranny demurred— <br /> <br />Isaac—to his children <br />Lived to tell the tale— <br />Moral—with a mastiff <br />Manners may prevail.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abraham-to-kill-him/
