Metaphor in Context
The Chief, convinc'd, replies--"Oh! virtuous Seer,
"Thy firm intrepid zeal I now revere:
"That honour-breathing voice, those silver hairs,
"That candid brow, engrav'd with Wisdom's cares,
"All strike my soul with Truth's unclouded ray,
"Before whose warmth Suspicion melts away."
