Metaphor
"My soul drooped at the prospect"
Metaphor in Context
My soul drooped at the prospect, but I said, it cannot be prevented, and this reflection was antidote to grief, but nor that thy ruin is complete, it seems as if some of it were imputable to me, who forsook thee when the succour and counsel of a son were most needed.
