English

The stanzas are from a parody of Robert Southey's poem "The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them", in Alice from Lewis Carroll. First published in 1799, it has been parodied but mostly forgotten and only the parody remembered.

Carroll's parody gives Father William an eccentric and great vitality misunderstood by his questioner.

The line, “allow me to sell you a couple?” suggest that father william thinks "he is more fit than the young man" (letter C), since he can't understand why Father William is much better and still on form in many things he was not supposed to be because of his age and fat body.

MACBETH. Seyton! -I am sick at heart,
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Seyton!—I’m sick at heart when I see—Seyton, come here!—This battle will either secure my reign forever or else topple me from the throne. I have lived long enough. The course of my life is beginning to wither and fall away, like a yellowing leaf in autumn. The things that should go along with old age, like honor, love, obedience, and loyal friends, I cannot hope to have. Instead, I have passionate but quietly whispered curses, people who honor me with their words but not in their hearts, and lingering life, which my heart would gladly end, though I can’t bring myself to do it. Seyton! 《 this is a modern version of the given text》
