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.

There are lots of reasons why people read. You may simply want to relax, after a long day, I find it quite relaxing to just chill and read for a couple of hours. You can do specific reading, in order to bolster your understanding on a specific subject. We can also boost our vocabulary when reading, we learn new words constantly. You can train your brain, because you need to visualize a whole world while reading. Some people read because it makes them feel good. All in all, books open up a whole new world to the reader, and have many benefits, I've only listed some, and I hope this helps you!

Phantasy [73]

(TRIGGER WARNING) I have a question for my grammar people out there!! Please help! Can a sentence have two-words? I’m writing my
Anastasy [175]

Answer: Grammar police here :) it makes perfect sense and it belongs there so good job :)

Explanation: Famous writers like Angie Thomas and many more use sentences like this to explain the characters emotions and show it better. Using “I froze” like that in a sentence helps the reader better understand what’s going on by putting periods because periods symbolize a pause and that perfect for it, “...when the loudest noise I had ever heard traveled down the hallway *pause* I froze” see what I wrote there wouldn’t be correct but like I said a period symbolizes a pause in a sentence or the end of it so it would be “...when the loudest noise I had ever heard traveled down the hallway. I froze.” See how it makes a bunch of sense. I hope it does. Lol. Hope that helped :)
