Poem "when i was fair and young"
when i was fair and young, then favor graced me.
of many was i sought their mistress 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 proud 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.

the authors tone is her saying that he should find someone new and the words weeping, sighing, and importune are emphasizing the fact that she knows he will be heartbroken, but she just wants to be free.

d. the two authors are in awe of nature; their experiences, reveal that time in nature can change people.

explanation:

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
