"When I Was Fair and Young" by Queen Elizabeth I circa 1585 When I was fair and young, then favor graced me. Of many was I sought their mistriss for to be, But I did scorn them all and answered them therefore: Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more. How many weeping eyes I made to pine in woe, How many sighing hearts I have not skill to show, But I the prouder grew and still this spake therefore: Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more. Then spake fair Venus' son, that brave victorious boy, Saying: You dainty dame, for that you be so coy, I will so pluck your plumes as you shall say no more: Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more. As soon as he had said, such change grew in my breast That neither night nor day I could take any rest. Wherefore I did repent that I had said before: Go, go, go, seek some other where, importune me no more.

Lamdashie, How about this one: Select a tone (or multiple tones) from the list of Tone Words. Explain why this tone is the best way to describe this text
I figured it out by reading it and writing down how I felt during different parts (sadness, uninterested ect) look through the tone words (earlier in the lesson) for some words (:
