Metaphor in Context
"Perinthus! Theron! Aracynthus!" cried
The maiden, while her cheek deep blushes dyed,
"Whate'er thy title, from my grateful heart
"Ne'er can th' impression of thy zeal depart.
"Alas! what say I?--Pardon me, nor deem
"Too strong th' expression of my fix'd esteem:
"Still must I think, whate'er thy rank, thy name,
"That Mysia's prince and Theron are the same."
