Matching the bolded phrases to their meanings in the context of this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 2.

besiege - surround, overwhelm

deep trenches - deep pits, wrinkles

proud livery - charms

tatter'd weed - destroyed and wasted

The central theme of Shakespeare's Sonnet 2 is procreating being young for beauty's sake before it is too late. This is an important theme because average life could be thirty-five years. So it is important to have children before reaching forty years of age, because beauty can be overwhelmed, full of deep wrinkles, destroyed and wasted.

Answer:

They said they had never been there before.

Explanation:

According to the statement, this is Indirect or Reported Speech. It is normally used to talk about the past. So we commonly replace the tense of the words said. Reporting verbs are used. For example, 'say', 'tell', 'ask'. These words are even similar in meaning. Sometimes, we could use the word 'that' to explain the reported words.
