Metaphor in Context
Oh let me lie whole Ages in those Arms,
And on that Bosom lull asleep my Cares:
Forgive those foolish Fears of fansy'd Harms,
That stab my Soul, while they but move thy Tears.
And think unless I lov'd thee still,
I had not treated thee so ill;
For these rude Pangs of Jealousie, are much more certain signs
Of Love, than all the tender Words an amorous Fancy coins.
(p. 81)
