Metaphor in Context
CLEORA.
My lord Northampton,
Tho' strongly urg'd, I feel a woman's softness!
Revenge, remorse, and love divide my soul,
Like three wild streams that rush against each other!
NORTHAMPTON.
Yet, still, be resolute,
Summon your reason to your passion's aid!
Think how you're treated by your angry lord,
Menac'd, cast off, and but revenge can save you.
(V.i, p. 173)
