Read the quotation from "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty."

"Your subjects hope, dread Sire—
The crown upon your brows may flourish long,
And that your arm may in your God be strong!
O may your sceptre num'rous nations sway,
And all with love and readiness obey!"

In this excerpt, Wheatley uses hyperbole to show
the strength she witnesses in the king.
the holiness she admires in the king.
the concern she has for the king.
the success she wishes for the king.

Answer:

  • the concern she has for the king.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker isn't expressing facts, nor profound respect, she is expressing what she wants for the ruler: many decision years or long live to the king, divine help, omnipotence, and dread, acquiescence, and love from the general population, the countries. In this extract, "may" goes about as a helping action word to absolute every one of these desires or prayers.
