Final Exam

Part I. Poetry Identification (36 points).  In this section, you are asked to identify several characteristics of an important Renaissance poem. Points are distributed as indicated below. 

That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,

Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie
As the deathbed whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

1.	...poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,/And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?/One short sleep past, we wake eternally,/And death shall be no more, Death thou shalt die.
2.	And graven with diamonds, in letters plain/There is written her fair neck round about:/Noli me tangere, for
Caesar's I am,/And wild for to hold though I seem tame.
3.	She is all states, all princes, I,/Nothing else is./Princes do but play us; compared to this,/All honor's mimic; all wealth alchemy.
4.	So while thy beauty draws the heart to love,/As fast thy Virtue bends that love to good:/But ah, Desire still cries, give me some food.
5.	Though parents grudge, and you, we are met,/And cloistered in these living walls of jet./Though use make you apt to kill me,/Let not to that self murder added be,/And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
6.	Thus great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes/Biting my trewand pen, beating my self for spite,/Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
7.          I was myself an eyewitness to a great part of what you will find here set down; and what I could not be witness 
             of, I received from the mouth of the chief actor in this history, the hero himself, who gave us the whole
             transactions of his youth; and though I shall omit, for brevity’s sake, a thousand little accidents of his life,
             which, however pleasant to us, where history was scarce, and adventures very rare, yet might prove tedious
             and heavy to my reader, in a world where he finds diversions for every minute, new and strange.
8.          They are extreme modest and bashful, very shy, and nice of being touched. And though they are all thus
              naked, if one lives forever among them, there is not to be seen an indecent action or glance; and being 
              continually used to see one another so unadorned, so like our first parents before the Fall, it seems as if they
              had no wishes; there being nothing to heighten curiosity, but all you can see, you see at once, and every
              moment see; and where there is no novelty, there can be no curiosity.

Extra Credit: You may do one additional quotation from the list above for extra credit.
