Metaphor
Rude signs may be expressive of "moral sense / Stamp'd on each heart"
Metaphor in Context
Meantime the untutor'd hearers, with rude signs
Not inexpressive of the moral sense
Stamp'd on each heart--of fancy tho' enclos'd
By narrow boundaries--of the affections, wild
In native force; the veteran chieftain hail
Their judge, their legislator, father, friend.
