"Here Ovid's fancy in this Mirrour shines."
Metaphor in Context
Here Maro's loafty, and immortal straines,
Here Seneca's Diviner raptures flow;
Here Ovid's fancy in this Mirrour shines,
Plutarch's Moral'ty here it self doth show.
Here Learning burnisht with Pegasian fire,
And Love with Wit these mighty Lines Inspire:
Which Lines, to give my judgement of the whole,
Will Burnet and Buchanan both control.
