Read the poem below and answer the question that follows:

Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn,
Grew lean while he assailed the season;
He wept that he was ever born,
And he had reasons.
Miniver loved the days of old
When swords were bright and steeds prancing;
The vision of a warrior bold
Would set him dancing.

So he dissolved and showers of oaths did melt
