An enchantress may fix her "sun-bright throne" in her lover's bosom
Metaphor in Context
When each celestial virtue proudly strove
Whose pow'r supreme should in the Prince be shewn,
You, sweet enchantress! charm'd his heart to love,
And in his bosom fix'd your sun-bright throne.
There saw the graces ripen and refine,
And taught the Great and Good in fairest light to shine.
Whose pow'r supreme should in the Prince be shewn,
You, sweet enchantress! charm'd his heart to love,
And in his bosom fix'd your sun-bright throne.
There saw the graces ripen and refine,
And taught the Great and Good in fairest light to shine.
