Metaphor in Context
RICHARD OF GLOUCESTER
Lo, here I lend thee this sharp-pointed sword,
Which if thou please to hide in this true breast
And let the soul forth that adoreth thee,
I lay it naked to the deadly stroke
And humbly beg the death upon my knee.
(I.ii.162-6)

Which if thou please to hide in this true breast
And let the soul forth that adoreth thee,
