Metaphor in Context
ALICIA.
Joy of my Life, my dearest Shore, forbear
To wound my Heart with thy foreboding Sorrows.
Raise thy sad Soul to better Hopes than these,
Lift up thy Eyes, and let 'em shine once more,
Bright as the Morning Sun above the Mists.
Exert thy Charms, seek out the stern Protector,
And sooth his savage Temper, with thy Beauty:
Spite of his deadly unrelenting Nature,
He shall be mov'd to pity and redress Thee.
(I.ii, p. 10)
