Question

Which three lines in this excerpt from Phillis Wheatley's poem "Goliath of Gath" contain examples of figurative language?

Answer 1

The hosts on two opposing mountains stood,
Thick as the foliage of the waving wood;
Between them an extensive valley lay,
O'er which the gleaming armour pour'd the day,
When from the camp of the Philistine foes,
Dreadful to view, a mighty warrior rose;
In the dire deeds of bleeding battle skill'd,
