"Let two more summers wither in their pride"
Metaphor
Act 1,
Scene 2
Lines 7-11

An example of a metaphor comparing Juliet's readiness to be a bride to crops being ripe for picking in myShakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 2.

Capulet

But saying o'er what I have said before:
My child is yet a stranger in the world;
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years.
Let two more summers wither in their pride,
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

Lord Capulet is making an agricultural metaphor. Let the crops pass twice more through their summertime prime, their “pride,” and begin to wither with the coming of autumn. Then, like a farmer’s crop, Juliet will be “ripe” for picking.
