Metaphor in Context
ROSEL.
So much of joy crowds fast into my heart,
There is not room for utterance
: Oh, speak Sir, speak!
And if you are Sebastian; speak it boldly:
And give me joy as great, as is my wonder:
For sure you much resemble that dear Man--
Which if you prove--look up, and see Roselia,
Your Roselia.
