Etymology is the study of where words originate and how their meanings have changed over the years.
Burthen - meaning, weight, significance
Recompense-reward
Loon-a silly or foolish person
Rill-a small stream
Measure-the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
<u>Explanation:</u>
The words that have been given in the poem have meanings like rill means a small stream, a loon person is one who is silly or a foolish person. Recompense is the reward given for the compensation of the loss.
Burthen is the archaic form of "burden" which means "weight/significance/or meaning". All these words add meaning to the lines of the poem and help the readers understand the meaning of the poems by measuring those.
The main part of your essay or paper is the thesis statement because that tells you what you're talking about.
