Metaphor in Context
He mark'd the Bounds 'tween Brutes and Men,
And KNOW THY SELF made known,
Dark Monsters fled before his Pen,
While Fancy's Mirror shone.
The Soul, of Heav'n and Earth compound,
By his celestial Art,
He taught to sever, without Wound,
And view it self apart.
Come then, great Spirit, and adore
Jehovah, One in Three,
View Face to Face what you before
Did by Reflection see.
(p. 3)
