The cultural-historical manifestations of allegory are extensive and varied. We present detailed analyses of two allegorical texts from disparate historical formations: a Prudentian allegory from 17th century England and a short, 21st century viral video uploaded to YouTube. Despite vertiginous differences, a common conceptual core is identifiable and, we argue, best modeled by Conceptual Integration Networks. These networks, however, vary in systematic ways. While in the viral video attention is focused primarily upon its blended space, in the Prudentian allegory attention is distributed more uniformly over the entire Integration Network
