Metaphor in Context
He said--Prince Alfred's unresisting Mind
Receiv'd th' Impressions, by the Guide design'd:
And much the wise Remarks the Heroe prais'd,
Which in his Breast had generous Passions rais'd,
Mercy, Indulgence, Love to Humane Kind,
That more than Compacts Pow'r imperial bind.
Receiv'd th' Impressions, by the Guide design'd:
And much the wise Remarks the Heroe prais'd,
Which in his Breast had generous Passions rais'd,
Mercy, Indulgence, Love to Humane Kind,
