Metaphor in Context
With a Courage more stout than Achilles slew Hector,
I swore, that no Passion shou'd be my Director;
Disdaining those Bonds that the Predicants wear,
My Soul is a Monarch as free as the Air.
When such puling Passions my Fancy discovers,
Like Physitians, I gain by the Sickness of others.
(p. 72)
