Metaphor in Context
MAR.
He bids me to reflect upon the past,
And take my time for the Reflection.
Reflection will be dangerous--Mourville, come,
Come quickly to the rescue of my Love,
Transport me with the dear, dear Sight of you,
Far from the crowding Thoughts of what I owe
To Warcourt, for my Father, and my self:
Where shall I find you? Mourville! Harriet!
Now show your Friendship, and deliver me,
For I am more enslav'd by being free.

Come quickly to the rescue of my Love,
Transport me with the dear, dear Sight of you,
Far from the crowding Thoughts of what I owe
To Warcourt, for my Father, and my self:
Where shall I find you? Mourville! Harriet!
Now show your Friendship, and deliver me,
For I am more enslav'd by being free.
