On Plato, "Biting my traunt pen, beating myself for spite--" would be correct. But I'm not sure about the other line. It could be "Thus, great with child to speak, and hopeless in my throes," Here is a photo to help. :)

Answer:

  • "Thus great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,"
  • "Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite"
  • “Fool,” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart and write.

Explanation:

There are several lines in this poem that express desperation, Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:

  • "Thus great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,"
  • "Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite"

In these lines, the narrator expresses he is helpless because he cannot find the inspiration he wants for his writings, and it desperates him.

  • “Fool,” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart and write.

In this line, his muse restates and considers how the narrator is acting like a fool for his desperation

The correct answer to this question is letter "c. the poet is wishing the world to remember her after she is gone."

This is my letter to the world that never wrote to me— the simple news that nature told— with tender majesty her message is committed to hands i cannot see— for love of her—sweet—countrymen— judge tenderly—of me. The most accurate paraphrase of this poem is that <span>the poet is wishing the world to remember her after she is gone. </span>
