Answer: D. from hopeless to thankful
Explanation:
The mood of the first quatrain to the final couplet of this poem is going from hopeless to thankful. At first, William Shakespeare is telling the readers about love and marriage that seemed hopeless to him because he is considering love both beautiful, mysterious, and more but those mixed up feelings made his thoughts inspirational for his work. Because of that, he is thankful.
William Shakespeare on love: “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind.”
