"I teach true pleasures false ones to controul, / And warm the yielding heart, to stamp the mind"
Metaphor in Context
I, thro' the dancing numbers, breathe a soul,
And, to the sound of reason, tune mankind:
I teach true pleasures false ones to controul,
And warm the yielding heart, to stamp the mind.

I teach true pleasures false ones to controul,
And warm the yielding heart, to stamp the mind.
