"In vain my weeping eyes thy features traced / (And features speak the passions of the mind)".
Metaphor in Context
As I a thousand, thousand times embraced,
Hoping by every one to make thees kind,
In vain my weeping eyes thy features traced
(And features speak the passions of the mind):
Still wert thou unconcerned; nor didst thou impart
One sigh of thine to those that swell'st my heart.
(ll. 13-18, p. 149)

Still wert thou unconcerned; nor didst thou impart
