"O take me! stamp me on thy breast! / Deep let the image be imprest!"
Metaphor in Context
RECITATIVE.
Speaker.
O take me! stamp me on thy breast!
Deep let the image be imprest!
For love, like armed death, is strong,
Rudely he drags his slaves along:
If once to jealousy he turns,
With never-dying rage he burns.
