Question
select the correct text in the passage.
which three lines in this poem indicate that the poetic speaker refuses to be beguiled by love any longer?
farewell love
by sir thomas wyatt
farewell, love, and all thy laws for ever:
thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more.
senec and plato call me from thy lore,
to perfect wealth my wit for to endeavour.
in blind error when i did persever,
thy sharp repulse, that pricketh aye so sore,
hath taught me to set in trifles no store,
and scape forth, since liberty is lever.
therefore farewell, go trouble younger hearts,
and in me claim no more authority;
with idle youth go use thy property,
and thereon spend thy many brittle darts.
for, hitherto though ive lost my time,
me lusteth no longer rotten boughs to climb
- "Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever" clearly shows the speaker's intention to bid goodbye to love and its associated rules.
- "Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more" uses a metaphor of baited hooks (representing love's allure) to state that the speaker won't be caught (beguiled) by love anymore.
- "And in me claim no more authority" directly tells love to no longer have power or influence over the speaker.
