Metaphor in Context
CARLOS
May the Almighty judge of that! You banished me not only from your heart, but from all share of empire. Until this day--Oh! was that kind or just?--I, the Prince of Spain, was but a stranger, a prisoner in the country over which I shall hereafter rule.--How oft, how oft, my father, have I blushed when from the ambassadors of foreign states, or from general report, I learnt the proceedings of your court! I concealed my feelings beneath affected levity. "The King," said I, "conducts his government with secresy; he prepares for his beloved son a joyful surprise upon his coronation."
