Question

Which lines from Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" belong to the praise stage of the elegy?

Answer 1

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
