Shelley's solution can be seen most clearly in stanzas 6 (specifically line 24, "Forge
arms--in your defense to bear") and 8 (which urges them to defend
themselves unto death).
My opinion: I think that he is using sarcasm in terms to identity the problem and what will happen in their future if they
continue down the road they are going. I
do not agree with him if he is not being sarcastic but I do agree with him if he is. I don't believe avoiding problems is ever beneficial.
