"In the mean time Cressida, whose Violence of Grief had long ago subsided, and left only a gentle Sensibility in her Soul, that but disposed it for new Impressions, having found some Difficulty in prosecuting her Design of returning to Troy on the appointed Day, resolved to lay aside all Thoughts of such a dangerous Enterprise, and began to listen favourably to the Vows of Diomede."

Metaphor in Context
In the mean time Cressida, whose Violence of Grief had long ago subsided, and left only a gentle Sensibility in her Soul, that but disposed it for new Impressions, having found some Difficulty in prosecuting her Design of returning to Troy on the appointed Day, resolved to lay aside all Thoughts of such a dangerous Enterprise, and began to listen favourably to the Vows of Diomede: This young Warrior, whose Heart the Sight of her in Troy had enflamed, made Use of all the pleasing Arts with which the God of Love inspires his Votaries, to engage her to return his Passion.
