Metaphor in Context
ÆTHON [ULYSSES].
Yes Sir, be certain on't, she shall be try'd;
Thro' all the winding Mazes of her Thoughts
,
Thro' all her Joys, her Sorrows and her Fears,
Thro' all her Truth and Falshood I'll pursue her.
She shall be subtler than Deceit it self,
And prosperously Wicked, if she 'scape me.
(I.i, p. 14)
