Metaphor in Context
Philaret and I being thus agreed on a Rambling Project, you shall now seldom see us two asunder: We dwell together like Soul and Body: Had one been a Boy and the other a Girl, sure enough we had been Man and Wife. If one of us had been Castor, and the other Pollux, it had been well for Mariners, for we should always have appear'd together. Why had we not both one Mother? Why were we not Twins? for never were two better pleas'd with one another's Company; part us and ye kill us, for when Soul and Body part 'tis Death.
