Metaphor in Context
TAMERLANE.
Oh matchless Virtue! Yes I will obey;
Tho' Laggard in the Race, admiring yet,
I will pursue the shining Path thou tread'st.
Sultan, be safe. Reason resumes her Empire,
[The Guards release Bajazet.]
And I am cool again.--Here break we off,
Lest further Speech should minister new Rage.
(IV.i, p. 53)
