Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>
