Metaphor in Context
A young amorous heart, I think, may with some analogy be compared to tinder, as it is ready to take fire from every spark that falls;--how cool soever Jemmy might have been some moments before, this sight sufficed to revive the glowing embers of desire, and made him think it would not become him to neglect totally so kind and fair a creature.
