Metaphor in Context
CLEORA.
This generous act has waken'd love again,
And pity pleads against me--What shall I do!
If I continue here, and he thus charms me,
My scheme, at once, is air--Like jarring elements
My passions war--and thought opposing thought,
Shakes my whole frame, till I am mad with doubting.
(III.i, p. 155)
