    There are two extended metaphors in Song: To Celia by Ben Jonson. First is the metaphor drinking where the persona first offered Celia a drink which is then compared to love. The wine symbolized the carnal desires, while Celia's love is something more spiritual. The persona doesn't ask for wine as he believes that Celia's love is enough to quench his thirst.

    The second metaphor is the wreath of rose is found in the second stanza. It symbolizes their unending love or undying love for each other as the persona believes that the wreath will not die if Celia can only breathe on it.
