"Within each willing heart [the Royal Ebor] rais'd his throne."
Metaphor in Context
In soul a hero, yet with bosom fram'd
Of softest Mold, the Royal Ebor shone,
For every kingly grace and virtue fam'd,
Within each willing heart he rais'd his throne;
Nor wonder Oza's feeling pulse shou'd beat
For one, whom heaven's kind care had render'd all compleat.

For every kingly grace and virtue fam'd,
Within each willing heart he rais'd his throne;
Nor wonder Oza's feeling pulse shou'd beat
For one, whom heaven's kind care had render'd all compleat.
