"A thousand fond Requests / Croud on my Mind."
Metaphor in Context
ZAPHIRA.
Not yet,--not yet;--indulge a Mother's Love!
In thee, the kind Companion of his Griefs,
Methinks I see my SELIM stand before me.
Depart not yet. A thousand fond Requests
Croud on my Mind.
Wishes, and Pray'rs and Tears,
Are all I have to give. O bear him these!
