Metaphor in Context
MAGAS.
Forget that thought,
That jarring grates your Soul, and turns the Harmony
Of blessed Peace to curst infernal Discord.
Hate and its fatal Causes all shall cease,
And Memnon's Name be honour'd as of old,
The bravest and the most successful Warrior,
The fortunate Defender of his Country.
(II.i, p. 13)
