Metaphor in Context
   Such the Dalrymples, Father and the Son,
      Whose virtuous Minds no servile Chains can wear
;
Such Erskine is, who laid the Purple down,
      Whom Britain's Senate shall with Pleasure hear:
And He, who now retires, with Honour crown'd,
To the soft Cares of his Paternal Ground.
