Metaphor
"I ask not Her heart, but would conquer my own"
Metaphor in Context
Yet such is my temper, so dull am I grown,
I ask not Her heart, but would conquer my own:
Her bosom's soft peace shall I seek to o'erthrow,
And wish to persuade, while I answer no, no?
I ask not Her heart, but would conquer my own:
Her bosom's soft peace shall I seek to o'erthrow,
And wish to persuade, while I answer no, no?
