UNSEEN POETRY

Read the poem and answer the question

My heart was in fearful flight

Pursued by Cupid, arrow poised

Waiting for my flight's end

When I'd turn about

Or I'd fall supine

My fleeing heart to pierce

Enslave or enthrall and ravish hopeless

So, I'm pining and pining away

For you high up there have perched

Out of reach of my now yearning 

Which was why my heart'd been fleeing

From cupid's poised arrow

1771

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Read the extract below and answer the question:

Where I have come, great clerks have purposed

To greet me with premeditated welcomes;

Where I have seen them shiver and look pale,

Make periods in the midst of sentences,

Throttle their practised accent I their fears,

And in conclusion, dumbly have broken off,

Not paying me a welcome...

1773
