Metaphor
A child may learn from his mother "The empire of the soul"
Metaphor in Context
"Now brave; a coward he might turn
  "Beneath thy base controul;
"But from his mother he shall learn,
  "The empire of the soul.
"

She spoke, she kept, with truth most rare,
  Her purpose nobly wild,
And made, by her maternal care,
  A hero of her child.
