"Tho' Rome's fell Star malignant shone, / When good Eliza rul'd this State, / On English hearts she plac'd her throne, / And in their happiness her Fate, / While blacker than the Tempests of the North, / The Papal Tyrant sent his curses forth."

Metaphor in Context
Tho' Rome's fell Star malignant shone,
When good Eliza rul'd this State,
On English hearts she plac'd her throne,
And in their happiness her Fate,
While blacker than the Tempests of the North,
The Papal Tyrant sent his curses forth.
When good Eliza rul'd this State,
On English hearts she plac'd her throne,
And in their happiness her Fate,
While blacker than the Tempests of the North,
The Papal Tyrant sent his curses forth.
