Metaphor in Context
I mark thy muse; her gothic lyre
Well suits the legendary lay;
While darting from her eyes of sire
She beams a visionary day:
Bright as the magic torch she early gave
To light thy ven'trous way, through fancy's secret cave.
Well suits the legendary lay;

Bright as the magic torch she early gave
To light thy ven'trous way, through fancy's secret cave.
