The similarity between independent and subordinate clauses is that, both clauses have a subject and a verb. But the difference between the two is that, an independent clause conveys a complete thought, but a subordinate clause does not, and it needs the main sentence to complete its idea.
In Anne Bradstreet's poem "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest” the central ideas are relief of pain, or death and solace. She is wishing a pilgrim farewell to a peaceful death. The author describes his death as an end of suffering by stating "All cares and feares, he bids farwell, and meanes in safity now to dwell" and "his dangers past, and travailes done/ The burning sun no more shall heat / Nor stormy raines, on him shall beat."
