HELP !!!!! Read the following poem, “The Sun is Rising,” by John Donne. Which of the lines contains an example of a metaphysical

conceit?
Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices,
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Thy beams, so reverend and strong
Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long;
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and tomorrow late, tell me,
Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.

She's all states, and all princes, I,
Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compared to this,
All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
Thou, sun, art half as happy as we,
In that the world's contracted thus.
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.


1. Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?

2. I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long;

3. Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.

4. She's all states, and all princes, I,
Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compared to this,
All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.

<span>The answer is 2. I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink, But that I would not lose her sight so long;. Metaphysical conceit is an extended metaphor that compares a physical thing in this world to an abstract theory. It is a literary device widely used in the 17th century. </span>

SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>The narrator means to characterize her neighborhood by describing its audioscape, the way it sounds as you’re walking through. Unlike other more prosperous neighborhoods where the background includes people laughing and talking, cars driving buying and perhaps sidewalk salesmen, the narrator’s neighborhood is quiet – no sounds of commerce, children playing, not even voices talking as the people wait for things to improve.</span>
