"And oh impute not one unheeded Word, / Forc'd from her in the bitterest Pangs of Sorrow, / When fierce conflicting Passions strove within, / Like all the Winds at once let loose upon the Main, / When wild Distraction rul'd."

Metaphor in Context
EUMÆUS.
And oh impute not one unheeded Word,
Forc'd from her in the bitterest Pangs of Sorrow,
When fierce conflicting Passions strove within,
Like all the Winds at once let loose upon the Main,
When wild Distraction rul'd--Oh urge not that,
A Blemish on her fair, her matchless Fame.
(III.i, p 31)

When wild Distraction rul'd--Oh urge not that,
A Blemish on her fair, her matchless Fame.
