Select ALL the correct text in the passage.

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

I look with rapture at the distant dawn,

And view the glories of the opening morn,

When justice holds his sceptre o'er the land,

And rescues freedom from a tyrant's hand;

When patriot states in laurel crowns may rise,

And ancient kingdoms court them as allies;

Glory and valour shall be here display'd,

And virtue rear her long dejected head;

Her standard plant beneath these gladden'd skies,

Her fame extend, and arts and science rise;

While empire's lofty spreading sails unfurl'd,

Roll swiftly on towards the western world
