FIRST EXAMINATION IN ARTS,

DECEMBER, 1875.

MONDAY, 20TH DEC., 10 A.M. TO 1 P.M.

ENGLISH POETRY.

CAPT. W. H. HALLETT.

I. Paraphrase one of the following passages, being careful to make the meaning quite distinct.

(N.B.—The first passage will carry more marks than the second.)

(a)

"I woo thee not with gifts.

Sequel of guerdon could not alter me

To fairer. Judge thou me by what I am,
So shalt thou find me fairest.

Yet, indeed,

If gazing on divinity disrobed

Thy mortal eyes are frail to judge of fair,
Unbiassed by self profit, oh! rest thee sure
That I shall love thee well and cleave to thee,
So that my vigour, wedded to thy blood,
Shall strike within thy pulses, like a God's,
To push thee forward thro' a life of shocks,
Dangers, and deeds, until endurance grow
Sinew'd with action, and the full grown will,
Circled through all experiences, pure law,
Commeasure perfect freedom."

"Not all these, laid in bed majestical,

(3)

Can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave,

Who with a body fill'd and vacant mind

Gets him to rest, cramm'd with distressful bread;

And, but for ceremony, such a wretch,

Winding up days with toil and nights with sleep,
Had the forehand and vantage of a king.

II. (a)

The slave, a member of the country's peace,
Enjoys it; but in gross brain little wots

What watch the king keeps to maintain the peace,
Whose hours the peasant best advantages.

Rewrite the following passage filling up every ellipsis.

(b) Parse the italicized words.

(c) Who is the speaker?

(d) Give in the simplest language of which you are master
the substance of the speech in which the passage occurs.

"That
ye
shall be as gods, since I as man,
Internal man, is but proportion meet;
I, of brute, human; ye, of human, gods.
So ye shall die perhaps, by putting off

Human, to put on gods; death to be wished.

Though threatened, which no worse than this can bring.”

III. Contrast very briefly

(a) The character of Shakespeare's Henry V with that of

Tennyson's Ulysses.

(b) The characters of Fluellen and Pistol.

IV. Give as nearly as you can in the words of the original

or

Eve's soliloquy after eating the forbidden fruit.

VI. Name the three leading passions which (according to Milton) prompted

(a) Satan to tempt mankind
