Metaphor in Context
EUGENIUS.
O take pity
Upon my weak condition, or I am
More wretched in your innocence, than if
I had found you guilty. Have you shewn a jewel
Out of the cabinet of your rich mind
To lock it up again?--She turns away--
Will none speak for me? Shame hath robb'd me
Of the use of utterance!
(p. 93)
