1460. mvp-comment-969-1 χειμαζομένῳ] 'In tempest of my woe.' If there were storms without, so too was there a storm within. For a metaphorical use of χειμάζεσθαι, cp. esp. Aesch. Prom. 562, τόνδε χαλινοῖς ἐν πετρίνοισιν | χειμαζόμενον. Cp. also Shak. Lear, 3. 4, 'Thou think'st it much that this contentious storm | Invades us to the skin: so 'tis to thee; But where the greater malady is fixed, The lesser is scarce felt... When the mind's free, The body 's delicate: the tempest in my mind | Doth from my senses take all feeling else Save what beats there.'
