Metaphor
A mind may be cast in a different mould
Metaphor in Context
How rare to find! for O, how few
Have true and generous wit like you!
Your mind in different mould was cast,
To raise a character, not blast;
Pleased to encourage what I write,
And smile upon my humble flight.
(ll. 161-6, p. 230)

And smile upon my humble flight.
