Metaphor in Context
SELIM.
But Tears of Joy: For I have seen ZAPHIRA,
And pour'd the Balm of Peace into her Breast:
Think not these Tears unnerve me, valiant Friends:
They have but harmoniz'd my Soul; and wak'd
All that is Man within me, to disdain
Peril, or Death.--What Tydings from the City?
(p. 48)
