Metaphor
Virtue may fix "her dearest throne within [one's] heart"
Metaphor in Context
KABERDAR.
Miserable prejudice! my country has renounced me; and I am therefore released from an observation of its customs. Mine eyes have chosen; my heart is in unison, and waits only for the consent of my reason--Miss Liddy:
(with animation)
her glance is a sunbeam, upon which the souls enter into Wischenu's paradise! the mild wisdom of the goddess Sawasuadi rests at all times upon her lips; and virtue created from the right breast of the god of gods, has fixed her dearest throne within her heart! Oh, Mamnadinn, god of love, creep thou also into it.
