To analyze why the poem corresponds to the genre of medieval romance we must go back to the time of the creation of the romanecero. The Romancero suggested, as it had done in the Golden Age, the imagination of the medievalizing poets of European and Hispanic Romanticism. During the 19th century the translations of these Spanish ballads to English, French and German were frequent. The romancero influenced some poems by Victor Hugo. In Austria Barbara Elisabeth Glück wrote a Romancero (1845) and in Germany Heinrich Heine imitated it with another Romanzero (1851).
The romance is a short epic-lyric poem intended for singing. It is Epic, because in romance it is narrated, something is told; Lyrical, because at the same time that story is impregnated with subjectivity (feelings, memories, dreams, etc.) of the poet and the story is then made singing.
But also in romances, as in the epic, often the Narration gives way to the word, to the discourse of the characters. The story is transformed into action, into drama. And so are these short poems integrated into Classical literary genres: the epic, the lyrical and the dramatic.
Answer:
A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined with a comma and coordinating conjunction, also known as the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). In addition, you can join independent clauses with a semicolon or with a semicolon, conjunction adverb, and a comma.
Explanation:

In poetry, letters such as a, b, c, etc. are assigned to represent the rhyme that occurs at the end of a line. When you see the first rhyme pair, you’d label that one ‘a’ since that is the first rhyme. The second rhyme pair would be labeled ‘b,’ and so on…
Let’s take a look at that excerpt from Richard Lovelace's "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars," and please be sure to read it aloud, so you can clearly hear the rhyme.
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
</em><em>That from the nunnery
</em><em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind
</em><em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly.</em>
Okay, so when reading this aloud, we can clearly hear that the first rhymes that occur in the excerpt are in line one and line three. They both seem to end with words that end in “ind.” This brings both the words “unkind” and “mind” to rhyme. So, since that’s our first rhyme, we’ll label both those lines with the letter ‘a.’
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,</em> {a}
<em>That from the nunnery</em>
<em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind </em> {a}
<em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly.</em>
Now, if you could please once again read the excerpt so, we could try to hear a second rhyme pair.
While the rhyming isn’t quite strong here, there is a slight rhyme in lines two and four. The end -y in the words “nunnery” and “ fly” do have a (slight) rhyme. So, since this is the second rhyme we have located, we’ll label those lines with the letter ‘b.’
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind, </em> {a}
<em>That from the nunnery </em> [b]
<em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind </em> {a}
<em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly. </em> [b]
Since there are no more lines in the excerpt to rhyme, this is our final rhyme scheme.
This proves the answer should be c ) abab.
