"A never-ceasing vulture gnaws his breast."
Metaphor in Context
Some turbulent Othello's vainly try
To curb the green-eyed monster Jealousy.
O never mount this wretched, restless beast,
"Not all the drowsy syrups of the east"
Can lull the argus of his fears, to rest:
--A never-ceasing vulture gnaws his breast.
(p. 41)
