Metaphor in Context
She had not of a long time enjoyed so peaceable a state of mind, and her health, which the tediousness of her confinement had a little altered, was now perfectly restored. So that she became fairer then ever; and in a little time, she gained over hearts an Empire far more noble than that which Elizabeth had deprived her of. The Conquest of the Duke of Alançon was too far advanced to remain imperfect; the young Prince, already half vanquish'd, could no longer resist so many charms: He at length became desperately in love with them, and his passion in a little time equalled that Beauty which had created it.
