Metaphor in Context
But grant they should be fixed, and are impregnable, will not the tainted gale, by often passing o'er the beauteous flower, tarnish its lustre, abate its fragrant scent, take off its polish, and fade its blooming tints. As chaste, as delicate, believe me Lucy, as the opening rose, shou'd be the female heart.
