Jerusalem Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this poem?

PG

We regret to inform you that there is no sex in this poem—total bummer, we know. It's a bit odd, because Blake isn't usually so reserved or shy when it comes to the dirty stuff. Maybe he just wasn't in the mood when he wrote this poem, or something like that. You'll just have to make do with some mild, implied violence (burning bows, flaming chariots, etc.).
