The winter's tale
by william shakespeare

act v
scene iii.

a chapel in paulina's house.

leontes: o, peace, paulina.
thou shouldst a husband take by my consent,
as i by thine a wife: this is a match,
and made between's by vows. thou hast found mine;
but how, is to be question'd; for i saw her,
as i thought, dead, and have in vain said many
a prayer upon her grave. i'll not seek far—
for him, i partly know his mind—to find thee
an honourable husband. come, camillo,
and take her by the hand; whose worth and honesty
is richly noted, and here justified
by us, a pair of kings. let's from this place.
what! look upon my brother: both your pardons,
that e'er i put between your holy looks
my ill suspicion. this is your son-in-law,
and son unto the king, who heavens directing,
is troth-plight to your daughter. good paulina,
lead us from hence, where we may leisurely
each one demand an answer to his part
perform'd in this wide gap of time since first
we were dissever'd: hastily lead away.

Why witchcraft often the explanation for illness

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
