Metaphor
A partner of one's "future state" should not have "strong vice" "stamped upon her mind"
Metaphor in Context
Observe the partner of thy future state:
If no strong vice is stamped upon her mind,
Take her; and let her ease thy amorous pain:
A little error proves her human-kind.
If no strong vice is stamped upon her mind,
Take her; and let her ease thy amorous pain:
A little error proves her human-kind.
