Metaphor in Context
Shine on, bright Nymph! and may your Charms subdue
As many Slaves as your great Grandsire slew.
Still may his godlike Virtues fire your Breast,
Still be his Image on your Mind imprest;
Be that the Mirror which you most admire,
Mortality itself can rise no higher.
As many Slaves as your great Grandsire slew.
Still may his godlike Virtues fire your Breast,
Still be his Image on your Mind imprest;
Be that the Mirror which you most admire,
Mortality itself can rise no higher.
