. As you read the passage below, look for examples of the type of figurative language common to much of Phillis Wheatley's poetry.

Ador'd for ever be the God unseen,
Which round the sun revolves this vast machine,
Though to his eye its mass a point appears:
Ador'd the God that whirls surrounding spheres,
Which first ordain'd that mighty Sol should reign
The peerless monarch of th' ethereal train:

How does Wheatley personify the sun in this passage?
as an unseen force
as a huge machine
as king of the sky
as a whirling sphere
