Metaphor in Context
LORD HASTINGS
Why bend thy Eyes to Earth?
Wherefore these Looks of Heaviness and Sorrow?
Why breaths that Sigh, my Love? And wherefore falls
This trickling Show'r of Tears, to stain thy Sweetness.
JANE SHORE.
If Pity dwells within your noble Breast,
(As sure it does) oh speak not to me thus!
(II.i, p. 19)
