The "war within, these passions in their strife, / If thus protracted, had exhausted life"
Metaphor in Context
"This war within, these passions in their strife,
"If thus protracted, had exhausted life;
"But the strong view of these departed years
"Caused a full burst of salutary tears,
"And as I wept at large, and thought alone,
"I felt my reason re-ascend her throne."
"If thus protracted, had exhausted life;
