Question 5 • MCS English IV Semester 1 BL
The first quatrain lists the different things people take pride in, such as birth, wealth, clothing, and horses. The second says those separate pleasures are less important than the speaker’s beloved, and the third quatrain develops that idea by comparing the beloved’s love favorably with those same things. The couplet then introduces a new concern: the beloved could take that love away, leaving the speaker wretched.
