Question

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

Answer 1

When justice holds his sceptre o’er the land,  

And rescues freedom from a tyrant’s hand;

I don't know all of them, but I know these are correct...Sorry.

It isn't

I look with rapture at the distant dawn,

And ancient kingdoms court them as allies;

Her fame extend, and arts and science rise;

Once again, sorry for not having all answers.

Answer 2

"When justice holds his sceptre o're the land, and rescues freedom from a tyrants hand; when patriot states in laurel crowns may rise, and ancient kingdoms court them as allies; glory and valour shall be here."
