"Amurath himself was also in the Fleet, and and hearing that the Tunis Vessel was commanded by the Renegado Dragut, and that he had some young Men on board arm'd, and three Women, one of them an admirable Beauty, he made them all come on board his Ship. He presently knew Rosalinda, whose Picture had been too deeply engrav'd in his Mind to be easily forgot."

Metaphor in Context
Lealdus's Story was for some Time the Subject of general Conversation; mean while, as the Ship cut through the Waves with a fair Wind, they spy'd a Squadron steering to the Levant. It was in vain for them to think of escaping with their Vessel. A Boat was sent off from the Squadron to take an Account of 'em, and they were oblig'd to strike the Flag. This happen'd to be the Algier Fleet that was bound to Candy for executing the Grand Seignior's Orders, which Amurath, his Envoy, brought to the several Powers of Barbary. Amurath himself was also in the Fleet, and and hearing that the Tunis Vessel was commanded by the Renegado Dragut, and that he had some young Men on board arm'd, and three Women, one of them an admirable Beauty, he made them all come on board his Ship. He presently knew Rosalinda, whose Picture had been too deeply engrav'd in his Mind to be easily forgot. The Barbarian's Heart leap'd for Joy, but he had the Art to dissemble it. He demanded of Dragut from whence he came, and what Business he had in those Seas? Dragut told him that he came from Tunis the Night before; that he was going by the Dey's Orders to cruize upon the Coasts of the Christian Powers, to observe their Motions in the present Prospect of War, and that his Master had commanded him to join him in two Months, and sooner, if possible, before Candy.
