Metaphor in Context
SOMERSET.
What a slave is man, when passion masters him?
My want of reason is the cursed source
Of all their miseries: But I'm trebly curs'd!
I feel for him, for her, and for myself.
What place in hell is there reserv'd for me?
Sure that which holds the greatest share of pain!
(V.i, p. 182)
