Metaphor in Context
'Tis certain, nothing but my Mother's excessive Fondness could have blinded her Reason, to give in to my unprefidented, ridiculous Follies; as she was, in all other Points, a Woman of real good Sense: But where the Heart is PARTIALLY ENGAGED, we have frequent Instances of its clouding the Understanding, and MAKING DUPES OF THE WISEST.
