Metaphor
"But Virtue Minds of nobler Stamp invites / To her sincere and more refin'd Delights."
Metaphor in Context
Pleasures like these low vulgar Minds affect;
From these the People Happiness expect.
But Virtue Minds of nobler Stamp invites
To her sincere and more refin'd Delights.
In Paths where soft enchanting Pleasures play,
An Orleans or a Rochester may stray;
But a Nassau approves the thorny Way.
