LOVES FAREWELL
(Let’s kiss & say goodbye)


parting will be friendly
Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part,— “-“ shows that someone may have tried to speak but speaker speaks over person



Nay I have done, you get no more of me; Monologue: other person doesn’t have a chance to speak


And I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart, Repetition = shows his confidence Pronouns = split in relationship


That thus so cleanly I myself can free; Q1: Convince his lover that he is over relationship




Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows, be polite to one another but decision is final
And when we meet at any time again, Pronouns = start to think of them as a couple
Be it not seen in either of our brows synecdoche - face
That we one jot of former love retain. Q2: Talks to his lover about how they should act when they see each other again -
determined




Now at the last gasp of love's latest breath,
When his pulse failing, passion speechless lies, adds to hyperbole (intensity of moment)
When faith is kneeling by his bed of death, melodramatic but these are the ‘friends’ around deathbed (aspects of love)
And innocence is closing up his eyes, Q3: describes + personifies death of love


—Now if thou would'st, when all have given him over, shift in tone polite + sincere - can be saved
From death to life thou might'st him yet decover! RC: he doesn’t want relationship to end -
reconcile




TONE STYLE THEMES STRUCTURE BACKGROUND

Q1 & 2:Decisive + Conversational, Love, reconciliation 3 quatrains + Elizabethan poetry

uses imperative/ reader walked in on tight structure + he was a cleaner &
instruction a private iambic pentameter she stayed in the
sentence structure. conversation. + sonnet house.


Q3 & 4: Cautious,

confidence

NO LONGER MOURN FOR ME WHEN I AM DEAD
(Forget me as soon as I die lover)
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Alliteration + creates a gloomy, angry atmosphere + drags it out to make it feel more sad



Give warning to the world that I am fled Euphemism for death
From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell; how sombre death is + strengthen description
Nay, if you read this line, remember not irony - can’t ask someone to forget u when they read something


The hand that writ it; for I love you so, synecdoche hand - speaker who wrote poem +
coordinating conjunction to draw attention to “i love u so” + does not want his lover to be sad

That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe. sad
O! if, I say, you look upon this verse, Interjection - conveys strong emotion to be forgotten
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, contradicting what will happen the person reading this will think about him



But let your love even with my life decay, talks about life decaying, once you’re dead your
life dissipates + love disappears

RC: Lest the wise world should look into your moan, sarcastic tone
And mock you with me after I am gone. (might have been gay - not accepted in this time), he think it’ll be difficult for lover without him

When I die don’t grieve for me
When you hear the funeral bell
Tell the world that I have died
I am leaving this world to live with these worms
If you read this line, don’t remember who wrote it
Because I love you so much
that I would rather you forget me
When I have dissolved into this Earth
Do not even utter my name
but let your love die with me
Otherwise the wise world will investigate why you sad & mock you, now that I am gone.




TONE PUNCTUATION MOOD

Bitter to the world + himself and closes off stanzas, (;) focuses Melancholic, sad, despairing
gloomily predicts he will be readers attention, (!) denotes mood.
mocked after death. strong emotion and (,) in rhyming
couplet slows pace intensify
writers sorrow.

RC: there’s a shift in tone more
personal

TO ALTHEA FROM PRISON
(You can’t imprison my mind)


love frees people + juxtaposes (2 op. things together) images of freedom

When Love with unconfined wings shows it is a vision/dream + love is personified & has wings

Hovers within my gates, reference to gatehouse
And my divine Althea brings she has godlike qualities, humans can’t be divine
To whisper at the grates; he’s in prison (grates = cell) - imagining this scenario
When I lie tangled in her hair, tangled = love making + shows a feeling of confinement
And fetter’d to her eye, fetter’d = chained (can’t think of anything else)
The Gods that wanton in the Air, amorous/horny


Know no such Liberty. refrain/anaphora to emphasise how free he believe he is
When flowing cups run swiftly round overflowing alcohol - freedom in celebration
With no allaying Thames, not diluted alcohol - the real stuff
Our careless heads with roses crown’d, drunk
Our hearts with Loyal Flames; shows their loyalty to the king (cheeky) = metonymy
When thirsty grief in Wine we steep, drinking away their problems (when King lost power)
When healths and draughts go free—
Fishes that tipple in the deep shows how much freedom he has - fish can drink water the whole day but he is still more free


Know no such Liberty. tipple = drinks a lot




When, like committed linnets, I linnets = type of songbird + caged birds can still sing
& bird will sing even louder in cage like he will support King
With shriller throat shall sing metonymy - he will not allow gov. to imprison his mind
The sweetness, Mercy, Majesty,
And glories of my King; praising King Charles I
When I shall voice aloud how good
He is, how Great should be,
Enlargèd Winds, that curl the Flood, He will be freer than the massive winds that make waves
Know no such Liberty.

,5 of 33
Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage; idea of prison being a mindset
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an Hermitage. someone who likes to stay home + what other see as a prison is actually a sanctuary
If I have freedom in my Love, decide what to believe
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above, he has same freedom as angels
Enjoy such Liberty.
STYLE THEME STRUCTURE BACKGROUND STANZAS

Paradox of 2nd stanza =

TO THE NIGHT
(Night time is my alone time)
figure of speech = apostrophe = talking to an inanimate object

Swiftly walk over the western wave, night to spread itself over western sky where the sun sets
Spirit of Night! shows the intense desire to have the night come quickly
Out of the misty eastern cave, Romantic poets admiration + awe of nature
Where, all the long and lone daylight, night is weaving dreams of joy & fear while hiding during the day
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear, joy is dreams, fears are nightmares
Which make thee terrible and dear,—
Swift be thy flight! repetition emphasises how desperate he is for night to come


Wrap thy form in a mantle gray, cloak that can be embroidered with stars
Star-inwrought! night is falling
Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day; Day is personified, “Blind” - take away Day’s vision
Kiss her until she be wearied out,
Then wander o'er city, and sea, and land, night will take control over the world + touch with wand

Touching all with thine opiate wand— magical connotations - power to send ppl to sleep
Come, long-sought! you can feel the poets desire now


When I arose and saw the dawn, 1st person now = content change + insight that poet longs for the night
I sighed for thee; eish another day - weary tone
When light rode high, and the dew was gone, late morning
And noon lay heavy on flower and tree, burdening
And the weary Day turned to his rest,
Lingering like an unloved guest. day overstayed its welcome
I sighed for thee. sighed for nighttime + melancholy


Thy brother Death came, and cried, brother of death represents the unknown
Wouldst thou me? do you actually wanna die cause you sound so desperate?
Thy sweet child Sleep, the filmy-eyed, connotations of sleep - soft + sweet
Murmured like a noontide bee,

,7 of 33
Shall I nestle near thy side? or maybe you want me? do you want to cuddle w me?
Wouldst thou me?—And I replied,
No, not thee! neither of you! I just want to be alone.


Death will come when thou art dead, he knows death will arrive in time
Soon, too soon—
Sleep will come when thou art fled; sleep will come when I’m dead, I don’t want to waste time on that

Of neither would I ask the boon
I ask of thee, belovèd Night— shows love of night or friendship
Swift be thine approaching flight,
Come soon, soon! commanding/passionate tone

ULYSSES
(Carpe diem but not for you my boring son!)


Stanza 1: speaks abs his dissatisfaction w life
It little profits that an idle king, lazy/unsatisfied - his dissatisfaction with life
By this still hearth, among these barren crags, home + island of Ithica -lifeless cliffs (feels like he is wasting time)
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole = to weigh & measure (he thinks he is better than this ‘savage race'
Unequal laws unto a savage race, uncivilised citizens
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. all they do + pathos (evoke feels) : isolated




Stanza 2: his travels + sense of movement + his life @ end of stanza
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink indicates he is looking back on life + man of action
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd till the end
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those enjoys life’s to the extremes
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades sailor sea + hyades are the stars associated w rain
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name; because of the weather the sea becomes agitated
+ has a rep & fame (not living up to his name rn)

For always roaming with a hungry heart alliteration = wants more
Much have I seen and known; cities of men met lots of ppl & have all honoured him
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers, - heroism, adventure, camaraderie
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy. ringing because of noise from battle bt Trojans & Greeks
I am a part of all that I have met; mutual friendships
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' there is always something to find + arch=mirror
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades metaphor: arch compared to his experiences & the

untravelled world gleams at him through that arch = makes him want to do it again

For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end, emphasises frustration (caesura)
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! metaphor: compares him to a sword
