Question

Which five lines in this excerpt from Mary Otis Warren's poem "A Political Reverie" use figurative language?


1. I look with rapture at the distant dawn,

And view the glories of the opening morn,

2. When justice holds his sceptre o’er the land,


3. And rescues freedom from a tyrant’s hand;

3.When patriot states in laurel crowns may rise,

3.And ancient kingdoms court them as allies;

Glory and valour shall be here display'd,

4. And virtue rear her long dejected head;

Her standard plant beneath these gladden’d skies,

5. While empire’s lofty spreading sails unfurl’d,

5. Roll swiftly on towards the western world
