Metaphor in Context
PYLAD.
How! Is your Soul once more enter'd into that Bondage? Do you repose your life on her? What charms after such torments suffered could intice you again into those chains? Think you that Hermione inexorable at Spartas, should be kind at Epirus: ashamed to have offered up so many superfluous Vows, You then abhorred and forgot her, at least seemed so. I find you then deceived me.
(I.i)
