Metaphor in Context
LEO.
Since I once more inclose you within these Armes
Nor Time nor Fate shall e're divorce me from you!
Happy that hour when at a Masquerade,
Thy Wit and Beauty charm'd my panting Breast,
And first inspir'd thy Love into my heart!
Which Was till then a stranger:
My Heart then melted and dissolv'd within me!
A race of Golden Days did then appear
Love was our Theam all day, and every Day a Year.
Since I once more inclose you within these Armes
Nor Time nor Fate shall e're divorce me from you!
Happy that hour when at a Masquerade,
Thy Wit and Beauty charm'd my panting Breast,
And first inspir'd thy Love into my heart!
Which Was till then a stranger:
My Heart then melted and dissolv'd within me!
A race of Golden Days did then appear
Love was our Theam all day, and every Day a Year.
