Metaphor in Context
LUCIA
Every thing is bewitching. What think you of Love Tremilia? How faint a Passion is Friendship, or that of Kindred, sick and wavering, like the Moon, when the Sunny Rays of Love dart into our Souls! Love governs every Sense, every Affection, every Principle truckles to that more noble Passion.
(IV.ii, p. 45)
