Metaphor in Context
I grant this true: But, still, the deadly wound
Is in thy Soul: 'Tis there thou art not sound:
Say, when thou seest a heap of tempting Gold,
Or a more tempting Harlot do'st behold;
Then, when she casts on thee a sidelong glance,
Then try thy Heart; and tell me if it Dance.
(p. 41, ll. 220-5)

Then, when she casts on thee a sidelong glance,
Then try thy Heart; and tell me if it Dance.
