Read the passage from "Ode on a Grecian Urn." And, happy melodist, unwearied, For ever piping songs for ever new; More happy love! more happy, happy love! For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd, For ever panting, and for ever young Which word in the passage expresses eagerness?

“Panting” suggests breathing quickly with excitement or strong desire, which expresses eagerness. “Melodist” means a musician, “still” means remaining, and “songs” refers to music, so those words do not convey eagerness as directly.
