Metaphor
The soul may be poured forth in praise
Metaphor in Context
O thus may heav'n our pray'rs for ever hear!
To every Briton-Drufus still endear!
Still with victorious laurels wreathe his brow!
Still make our foes beneath his triumphs bow!
Make the fierce Gaul before his thunder fall!
And quell the Fiends that Europe wou'd enthral!
In conquest thus, ye Gods, prolong his days!
While glorious George-a grateful People sways,
Smiles on the son, to see his own great blood,
Prefer no joy to the of public good;
This the Fair Object of his passions make,
And thus to bless the highest pleasure-take,
O Britons! pour forth all your soul in praise,
Eulogiums ot the beft of Monarchs raise:
Who knows no glory-sep'rate from your own,
And but to make you happy-rules the throne.
(pp. 7 in. 54)
