"Th' instructive Theme is wrought with so much Art, / I'll wear the golden Precepts in my Heart."
Metaphor in Context
Yet think not, Sir, that your Advice is vain,
Who can be careless of so sweet a Strain?
Fools hate Reproof, and scorn to be made wise,
But gen'rous Minds will prudent Counsel prize:
Th' instructive Theme is wrought with so much Art,
I'll wear the golden Precepts in my Heart.
Who can be careless of so sweet a Strain?
Fools hate Reproof, and scorn to be made wise,
But gen'rous Minds will prudent Counsel prize:
Th' instructive Theme is wrought with so much Art,
I'll wear the golden Precepts in my Heart.
