Metaphor in Context
SIM.
Oh pure in heart, I have touch'd and find thee true as gold without alloy. I now perceive all are not soul-abas'd, that wear that badge. You, though a slave, are noble, and your mistress untainted, though in Capreæ--Now come forth, you that are shrowded in that gloomy cell; for liberty and happiness await you.
