Metaphor in Context
Methinks as thrown upon some Fairy Land,
Amaz'd we know not how, nor where we stand;
While tripping Phantoms to the Sight advance,
And gay Ideas lead the mazy Dance:
While wondring we behold in every part
The beauteous Scenes of thy creating Art.
Amaz'd we know not how, nor where we stand;
While tripping Phantoms to the Sight advance,
And gay Ideas lead the mazy Dance:
While wondring we behold in every part
The beauteous Scenes of thy creating Art.
