Metaphor in Context
HOR.
Hark ye, Violetta, I am cut out for your Lover. No other Man would have Courage and Constancy enough, to follow you thro' all the Mazes of your Coquetry. But I know that your Heart has ever been a Stranger to your Words and Actions. You have traduced it in both. Those would speak it vain and fickle; but I know it in Reality to be noble, open, just, and constant.
