Metaphor in Context
Delight of Life and Mirrour of the Heart,
By which our Thoughts, which none can see,
We to our own and others Joys impart;
And bring to View the boundless Treasury.
Thou of our Inward Soul a Scheme should'st give;--
And curs'd be He, that doth Deceive!
By which our Thoughts, which none can see,
We to our own and others Joys impart;
And bring to View the boundless Treasury.
Thou of our Inward Soul a Scheme should'st give;--
And curs'd be He, that doth Deceive!
