Metaphor
"But wasting Cares lay heavy on his Mind"
Metaphor in Context
But raging still amidst his Navy sate
The stern Achilles, stedfast in his Hate;
Nor mix'd in Combate, nor in Council join'd,
But wasting Cares lay heavy on his Mind:
In his black Thoughts Revenge and Slaughter roll,
And Scenes of Blood rise dreadful in his Soul.
The stern Achilles, stedfast in his Hate;
Nor mix'd in Combate, nor in Council join'd,
But wasting Cares lay heavy on his Mind:
In his black Thoughts Revenge and Slaughter roll,
And Scenes of Blood rise dreadful in his Soul.
