Metaphor
A "longing mind" may be racked with cares brought before the eyes.
Metaphor in Context
Th' Endearments, Joys, and Ecstasies,
Which yielding Virgins find,
With Care brought still before your Eyes
Shall rack your longing Mind.
I'll haunt you still with Tales of Love,
Heighten each Circumstance,
Each Pleasure artfully improve,
Your Anguish to advance.
Which yielding Virgins find,
With Care brought still before your Eyes
Shall rack your longing Mind.
I'll haunt you still with Tales of Love,
Heighten each Circumstance,
Each Pleasure artfully improve,
Your Anguish to advance.
