Julius Caesar

A metaphor is a description of something as though it were something else.

a. What metaphor does Anthony use to describe the death of Caesar in lines 204-210?

Pardon me, Julius! Here wast thou bay'd, brave hart;
Here didst thou fall; and here thy hunters stand,
Sign'd in thy spoil, and crimson'd in thy lethe.
O world, thou wast the forest to this hart;
And this, indeed, O world, the heart of thee.
How like a deer, strucken by many princes,
Dost thou here lie!

Antony uses hunters stalking a deer as a metaphor for the conspirators killing Caesar.
