And you, in your turn, will be rotten as this:
Horrible, filthy, undone,
O sun of my nature and star of my eyes,
My passion, my angel in one!
Yes, such will you be, o regent of grace,
After the rites have been read,
Under the weeds, under blossoming grass
As you molder with bones of the dead.
Questions:
- Who is speaking? To whom ("you")?
- How would you characterize the speaker's tone? Why?
- Why does the speaker choose to call this person a "sun," "star," "passion" and an "angel"?
- What is the speaker's message? To whom or what is the speaker comparing the listener? Why?
