Metaphor in Context
"A Prince that in the Cedars top doth build,
"And scornes the Sun, and dallies with the Wind,
"Only a Title hath his care to gild,
"His gay robe's lined with a restlesse mind.
"They that stand high have many blasts to shake them,
"And falling from on high, the more they break them.
"And scornes the Sun, and dallies with the Wind,
"Only a Title hath his care to gild,
"His gay robe's lined with a restlesse mind.
"They that stand high have many blasts to shake them,
"And falling from on high, the more they break them.
