Who Names a Traitor

Who names a traitor? I will name a heart, For hearts alone forsake the sought-for good. The Captain Will surveys his seaman’s chart To plot a course to guide his ark of wood. Yet he forgets each sailor is a man. ‘Gin mortal foes a man be brave and strong. Whoso is valiant, bid him join the van To prove his manhood in the battle throng. Yet, what fears that combatant beset, Who, standing lone and single in the ring, Beholds the trident and ensnaring net Of him that is the ocean tempest’s king? Aye, some outwitted Neptune’s rocks and ire, Yet perishèd. What man resists the siren’s lyre?> "and, as treason begins in the heart, before it appears in overt-acts, so he accused you as a traitor on that account, and therefore insisted you should be put to death" Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels, Chapter VII
