Does anyone know the meaning of this quote: "Then be your eyes the witness of their evil"

Just a friendly reminder to please post subject-specific threads in their respective subject forums.

Regarding the quote, it is the equivalent of the following in modern English:

"Then see the evidence of their evil with your own eyes".
​

The personification of the eyes in the original quote, which occurs by making them a witness, being a human characteristic/behaviour, enables the author to connect the reader with the object that is being personified (in this case, the eyes). This in turn enables the reader to understand/appreciate the existence of "their evil".

I hope this helps!
