Which excerpt in the poem expresses the view that death is an enviable state that frees the departed from the miseries of the bo

dy and old age?
On My First Son
by Ben Jonson

Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy ;
My sin was too much hope of thee, lov'd boy.
Seven years thou wert lent to me, and I thee pay,
Exacted by thy fate, on the just day.
Oh, could I lose all father now ! For why
Will man lament the state he should envy?
To have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage,
And if no other misery, yet age !
Rest in soft peace, and, asked, say, Here doth lie
Ben Jonson his best piece of poetry.
For whose sake henceforth all his vows be such
As what he loves may never like too much.

Nutka1998 [239]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>A) Shows how your solution has worked to solve similar problems</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The comparative approach is a procedure for examining the evolution of languages by doing a feature-by-feature comparison of two or more languages with common assault from a shared ancestor, in order to extrapolate back to infer the characteristics of that ancestor. The comparative approach may be compared with the method of internal reformation, in which the internal advancement of a single language is indicated by the study of features within that language.
