Which lines in the poem express the view that death is an enviable state that frees the departed from the miseries of the body and old age?

farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy ;
[ my sin was too much hope of thee, lov'd boy. ]
seven years thou wert lent to me, and i thee pay,
[ exacted by thy fate, on the just day. ]
oh, could i lose all father now ! for why
[ will man lament the state he should envy?
to have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage,
and if no other misery, yet age ! ]
rest in soft peace, and, asked, say, here doth lie
ben jonson his best piece of poetry.
[ for whose sake henceforth all his vows be such ]
as what he loves may never like too much.

Why does the author's description of the mercury boiler—"the mercury, when vaporized, going into a mercury turbine and then into a condenser, remaining hot enough to generate steam in a steam boiler"—intentionally incorporate such highly technical language? using technical language establishes the expertise of the writer and convey the complex nature of the process being described. using technical language allows the writer to subtly poke fun at those who seek to make basic processes seem overly complicated. using technical language encourages readers to develop deeper and more meaningful personal connections to the information. using technical language lets the writer make clear to readers that the article is intended for readers who are themselves experts on electricity.
