Metaphor in Context
And let thy rage, with fancied wrongs insane,
Steel every thought with Delia's proud disdain,
The instant thou shalt feel thy heart can bear
The doom congenial of my last despair;
Feel that remorse no pang'd regret shall raise,
To blast the quiet of thy future days.
Steel every thought with Delia's proud disdain,
The instant thou shalt feel thy heart can bear
The doom congenial of my last despair;
Feel that remorse no pang'd regret shall raise,
To blast the quiet of thy future days.
