Please explain lines 238-259 in Shelley's "The Triumph of Life." (Include any similes used by the poet.)

Percy Shelley's "Triumph of Life" was his last major poem.
He drowned before he could finish it. It is, in a way, a tribute to the poet Dante
Aligheri, written in terza rima, just as is Dante's Commedia. Its
main theme is the nature of being and how life has a way of ultimately corrupting the
spirit, even of those we consider to be great. In the lines you have asked about,
Shelley (the narrator or speaker of the poem) is describing a vision of a chariot and
groups of people, particularly some of the famous people he sees passing by him in his
waking dream. He describes kings and rulers and tells how life conquered all of them
despite their accomplishments and achievements. Thus, Life triumphs over everything in
the end. There are no similes in the lines you mention.
