Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england. there is some respite at the end of the reign: the law against eating meat on wednesdays is repealed in 1585. at the same time, there is a general slackening of fish-eating and an increase in the consumption of meat. by the 1590s most wealthy households have dropped the strict lenten fast and replaced it with a reduced-meat diet. in 1593 the government bows to the inevitable and reduces the punitive £3 fine to £1. now many households begin to eat meat in lent and on fridays and saturdays, if the head of the household wishes to do so, even though it is still technically against the law. the details from this excerpt support the inference that meat was consumed only by wealthy elizabethans. many elizabethans resisted the idea of eating more meat. fish was still a more common staple than meat in elizabethan diets. elizabethans’ attitude toward eating meat was becoming more relaxed.

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 sees 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. the first stanza compares the leafless limbs of a tree to a.yellow leaves b.sweet birds c.bare choirs d.summer
