Later disfavour

Since this is an obscure hymn, there doesn't appear to be much written about it. However, I wonder if the comment by Chris Fenner referenced in the article is all that compelling since he obviously is misinterpreting the hymn. The phrase "The souls by that Imposter led, That Arab-Thief, as Satan bold" is clearly (note the capitalization) referring to Mohammad, not to Arabs in general. I'm not advocating that the comment be removed, but I'm hoping someone can find other commentators who address the actual language. Indyguy (talk) 17:47, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
