Please help is this imagery or metaphor or both?

“Like to a fever’s pulse my heart doth beat, For fear my book some great repulse should meet”

this is a metaphor i believe, because it is showing the likeliness between a “fever’s pulse” and her heart beat speed caused by fear. Imagery would be more descriptive and not as vague as this piece of writing. hope this helped :)
