Metaphor in Context
DIEGO
We may constrain our selves not to believe great presumptions. But not to credit such convincing proofs is impossible. Therefore keep back the heart you come to restore, mine from this hour shakes off your bonds, and that you may not again enslave it, this day I will put it under the protection of one who is at least as fair as you. But questionless will not be so perfidious.
