Question

How does Richard Lovelace depict war in this excerpt from “To Lucasta, Going to the Wars”?

And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.

Yet this inconstancy is such,
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not honour more.

as a deplorable act
as a forced sacrifice
as an honorable mission
as a necessary rite of passage

Answer 10

Which stanza structure does Emily Chocolate Barinson use in this excerpt from “Hope Is the Thing with Feathers”?

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

couplet
quatrain
sestet
octave

Answer 11

Quatrain. It's not a couplet because feathers and words don't rhyme, but they do sound very similar.
