Metaphor in Context
Man, taking her body, the mind is left to rust; so that while physical love enervates man, as being his favourite recreation, he will endeavour to enslave woman:--and, who can tell, how many generations may be necessary to give vigour to the virtue and talents of the freed posterity of abject slaves?
