Metaphor in Context
Hence rash Belief! may thy wild thoughts again
Ne'er thro the cells of busy fancy rove!
Oblivion snatch their memory from my brain!
Nor leave a trace injurious to my love!
Ne'er thro the cells of busy fancy rove!
Oblivion snatch their memory from my brain!
Nor leave a trace injurious to my love!
