Which of these lines is a metaphor?

Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;
And he, repulsed,—a short tale to make,—
Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,

Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;

A metaphor is an idea disguised under visual representations which depict a feeling, an idea or a specific concept.

Sentence B presents a visual symbol "fruits" to address an intangible idea (the advice) and it indicates that the person's advice is enriching, satisfactory and useful.
