Explanation:
Thomas Paine's collection of articles are included under the title heading "The American Crisis". In the article "Common Sense", Paine had brought arguments before the common citizens of America to speak against the government. Paine presented his ideas of independence and termed the egalitarian government of America to be 'necessary evil'.
In the given lines, Paine had used hyperbole to inspire his readers to move on during the time of difficulty. Paine asks his audience to be stiff and stand against all the extreme efforts of the government. With the figurative language, hyperbole is the exaggeration of the thoughts and ideas.
