Metaphor in Context
SCIOLTO.
I am summon'd hence, e'er this my Friends expect me,
There is I know not what of sad Presage,
That tells me, I shall never see thee more;
If it be so, this is our last Farewel,
And these the parting Pangs which Nature feels,
When Anguish rends the Heart-strings--Oh! my Daughter.
(V.i, p. 56)
