The fundamental thought of Paul Revere's Ride is needing to free America from England. In his sincere enthusiasm, he was not hesitant to ride on a pony to caution Massachusetts of the landing of British states. He yells, "The British are coming!", taking a chance with his life just to free America.

These were the accompanying metaphors he used to pass on the possibility of his heroic valiance.

Metaphor: "over the moon like a jail bar"

Similar sounding word usage: "struck out by a steed flying courageous and armada"

Embodiment: "the careful night twist, as it went, crawling from tent to tent"

Sound similarity: "on then rising tide like a scaffold of water crafts"

The general sonnet design was in an account shape.
