Answer 1

Matching the words to their meanings will be:

• Besiege- surround, overwhelm.
• Trenches- deep pits, wrinkles.
• Proud livery - charms.
• Tatter'd weed- destroyed and wasted.

 

It should be noted that "when forty winters shall besiege thy brow, will be matched with the words surround and overwhelm".

Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now will be matched by charms.

"And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field" will be matched by deep pits, and wrinkles.
