Metaphor in Context
LADY JANE GRAY.
Trust our Fate,
To Him whose gracious Wisdom guides our Ways,
And makes what we think Evil turn to Good.
Permit me now to leave thee and retire;
I'll summon all my Reason and my Duty,
To sooth this Storm within, and frame my Heart,
To yield Obedience to my noble Parents.
(II.i, p. 17)
