drove-He knew no hasteAnd I had put awayMy labor and my leisure too,For His Civility-  \nWe passed the School,where Children stroveAt Recess-in the Ring-  \nWe passed the Fields of Gazing Grain-We passed the Setting Sun-  \nOr rather-He passed Us-  \nThe Dews drew quivering and Chill-  \nFor only Gossamer,my Gown-  \nMy Tippet-only Tulle-  \nWe paused before a House that seemedA Swelling of the Ground-The Roof was scarcely visible-The Cornice-in the Ground-  \nSince then-'tis Centuries-and yetFeels shorter than the DayI first surmised the Horses'HeadsWere toward Eternity-  \n4  \n8  \n12

not proudby John Donne  \nDeath,be not proud,though some have called theeMighty and dreadful,for thou art not so;For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrowDie not,poor Death,nor yet canst thou kill meFrom rest and sleep,which but thy pictures be,Much pleasure;then from thee much more must flow,And soonest our best men with thee do go,Rest of their bones,and soul's delivery.  \nThou art slave to fate,chance,kings,and desperate men,And dost with poison,war,and sickness dwell,And poppy or charms can make us sleep as wellAnd better than thy stroke;why swell'st thou then?One short sleep past,we wake eternallyAnd death shall be no more;Death,thou shalt die.  \n4  \n8  \n12  \nBriefly answer each of the following questions about \"Death,be not proud\"in thespace provided.  \n1.Analyze
