Metaphor in Context
[Colin]
nor is my heart nae mair than yours of steel
yes I our tinsell as severly feell
But stranger Reason comes to take my part
while you less Guarded sink beneath the smart
then dry ye'r Cheeks--and learn ye to Behave
ye'r sells like her then shall your virtues crave
Love in your Life and honour in your Grave
nor is my heart nae mair than yours of steel
yes I our tinsell as severly feell
But stranger Reason comes to take my part
while you less Guarded sink beneath the smart
then dry ye'r Cheeks--and learn ye to Behave
ye'r sells like her then shall your virtues crave
Love in your Life and honour in your Grave
