"[Love's] Pleasures have so many Pains, / And leave such Stings behind, / That I'm resolv'd to quit the Chains, / And free my captive Mind."

Metaphor in Context
Beauteous Irene, say no more
Of Love, now I am safe at Shore:
Its Pleasures have so many Pains,
And leave such Stings behind,
That I'm resolv'd to quit the Chains,
And free my captive Mind.
Of Love, now I am safe at Shore:
Its Pleasures have so many Pains,
And leave such Stings behind,
That I'm resolv'd to quit the Chains,
And free my captive Mind.
