Then think not long in takinglittle pain, To knit the knot, that ever shall remain.

1. The sonnet is written in the English form, because it has 3 quatrains (stanzas consisting of 4 lines) and one couplet in the end, which differs from the form of Italian or Petrarchan sonnet, which are the same thing.
2. The rhyme scheme is ababbcbccdcdee, because every second line rhymes.
3. The main idea of the poem is lasting love.
4. The poet has used the metaphor of burning oak to emphasize how patient one needs to be when trying to win the love of a lady.
5. He also uses the metaphor of the knot to emphasize the depth of love.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

1. English

Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.

2. abab bcbc cdcd ee

Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

3. lasting love

The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.

4. metaphor

He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.

5. knot

He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.

How does Housman use the structure of the poem to create surprise?
Shalnov [3]

In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the poet writes an elegy for a young, athletic man who recently passed away. This is naturally a sad subject, and the poet does begin his writing with a sad and somber tone of pity.

However, the author makes use of the structure of the poem in order to surprise his readers. Despite the sad tone of the first stanza, as the poem progresses, the tone becomes one of satisfaction and praise, which comes as a surprise to the reader.

The author is able to use each stanza to present different and contrasting ideas. While he agrees that dying young is a shame, he reflects on how quickly youth is gone, and on how many men lost their reputation by the time they became old. He claims that, by dying young, the athlete will never have to face old age, decline or loss of glory. Therefore, despite the sadness, the author is able to obtain some positive ideas from the situation.
