"They George's Image in his Coin approve, / Thy pictur'd Mind I in thy Letters love."
Metaphor in Context
A shining Treasure from the World conceal'd,
A Treasure only to my self reveal'd:
Like them, I too shall frequently retire,
Count my rich Store, and secretly admire;
They George's Image in his Coin approve,
Thy pictur'd Mind I in thy Letters love.
But here, indeed, we something disagree,
'Tis Money pleases them, and Paper me.
