Because it has something covering it and he has to watch his back
The clear and obvious English of the title "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" means D. a farewell urging the listener not to be sad.
The speaker points out that he is compelled to consume his time apart from his beloved, but before he go, he explains that goodbye should not be the event of sorrow and mourning.
punishment (imposition of a penalty as a response to an action or behavior that seemed unacceptable) = retribution (punishment as a vengeance for a wrong or criminal act)
taciturn (someone who is not loud or talkative) = silent (someone who is not speaking or not making any noise)
contrived (something that was created deliberately) = planned (something that is existing or was created according to a plan)

Answer:
An adjective has to come before the noun it is describing; if that is not the case, then it is misplaced.
For example, the sentence: I walked down the street.
I can say, "I walked down the dark street."
But if the word dark was anywhere else, it would be a misplaced adjective.
