"Another part became the well of sense, / The tender well-arm'd feeling brain, from whence / Those sinewy strings, which do our bodies tie, / Are ravelled out, and fast there by one end, / Did this soul limbs, these limbs a soul attend."

Metaphor in Context
Another part became the well of sense,
The tender well-arm'd feeling brain, from whence
Those sinewy strings, which do our bodies tie,
Are ravelled out, and fast there by one end,
Did this soul limbs, these limbs a soul attend.
The tender well-arm'd feeling brain, from whence
Those sinewy strings, which do our bodies tie,
Are ravelled out, and fast there by one end,
Did this soul limbs, these limbs a soul attend.
