Does each word have to be exactly seven letters long and use each letter once?
Or might they consist of words that are smaller or larger than seven letters in length, each of which is some combination of several or all of the seven letters?
No aspirer to glory, he parries the blows
Of the rapiers that threaten his life;
Then quickly repairs to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no praiser of strife.
No STRANGER to glory, he NEGATES the blows
Of the GANGSTERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly RETREATS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no TARGET of strife.
No ASPIRER to glory, he PARRIES the blows
Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
No aspirer to glory, he parries the blows
Of the rapiers that threaten his life;
Then quickly repairs to an inn that he knows
Where the host is no praiser of strife.
I see it now!! I thought each of the 7 letters had to be different, but it doesn’t actually say that, so:
No ASPIRER to glory, he PARRIES the blows
Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
aspirer: No ____ to glory,
parries: he ____ the blows
rapiers: Of the ____ that threaten his life;
repairs: Then quickly ____ to an inn that he knows,
praiser: Where the host is no ____ of strife…

How about:
No STRANGER to glory, he NEGATES the blows
Of the GANGSTERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly RETREATS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no TARGET of strife.
This puzzle was very strange…
Hey there Shawn- each word should be 7 letters long. Also, each word uses the 7 same letters (in different order).
sorry about the confusion

Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
This was a fun way to spend some time.

You’re right, this is hard!!
can come up w/any number of 7 letter words, but can only rearrange them into 3 more words, at most. Great puzzle, though. I will soldier on, thanks. z
Keep trying, Zenith
since only a few correct answers have come in, will leave this up another day or 2,

Congrats to LadyInsomnia, Bizarette18, Shawn, Cheddarmelt, Ludiavolo, Bobo the Bear, Gemma and Mehmet- this one was really hard

raspier: …he spoke ____ than the others.
Another 7 letter word! JFG – Just for grins ;-)
Oh no, I focused on the wrong man in the picture! Well, I’m fairly certain that no 7 letter word for “takes one in the chest” also solves this puzzle.
mad respect shawn for figuring out a workable alternative for it.
