Answer:
B. Unreciprocated love
Note: It is 'love' not 'live' (I guess it was a typo).
Explanation:
These opening lines of Sonet 30 (Amoretti XXX: My Love is like to ice, and I to fire) by Edmund Spenser (1569–1599).
Spenser in these lines uses two metaphors of opposite qualities. He says that by beloved's (Elizabeth Boyle) love is like ice, and my love for her is like ice. What he is not able to understand is that, either his beloved's love (ice) should be melted by fire, or his love fire be quenched by water of ice (when it melts from fire). But nothing happens, it is like stalemate. She does not reciprocate his love, neither is his love (fire) for her put out by her (ice/water). It is a paradox for him to understand.
Elizabeth Boyle in the start did not like Spenser because of his old age, and because of him being a widower. So, the speaker/Edmund Spenser is lamenting this unreciprocated loved from his beloved.
Option A, C and D are not correct because these lines have no metaphor or any other mention to brevity of life, poverty, and physical comfort.
We can see that what was actually on Hester's gown was: A tattered red “A”.
