Metaphor in Context
RODOGUNE.
And couldst thou find no other Name but that?
Thy Love!--oh fatal, curst, distracting Sound!
No, I will steel my Heart against thy Pray'r,
And whisper to my self with sullen Pleasure,
The Gods are just at length, and thou shalt feel
Pains, such as I have known.
(V.ii, p. 52)
