Metaphor
Judgement may assume "her Seat, the Mind"
Metaphor in Context
Moore, ever to the Cause of Justice true,
Thus spoke the Language of the judging few;
And what he spoke was with a graceful Ease:
He like Ulysses never fails to please.
Tho by the cens'ring Voice of Crouds inclin'd,
'E're Judgement had assum'd her Seat, the Mind,
The Youth, O! Philips, has prophan'd thy Lays,
Regard this Voice of Truth, the Voice of Praise.

The Youth, O! Philips, has prophan'd thy Lays,
