Plz asap will brainliest
read shakespeare's "sonnet 100.”

where art thou, muse, that thou forget'st so long
to speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
return, forgetful muse, and straight redeem
in gentle numbers time so idly spent;
sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
and gives thy pen both skill and argument.
rise, resty muse, my love's sweet face survey,
if time have any wrinkle graven there;
if any, be a satire to decay,
and make time's spoils despised every where.
give my love fame faster than time wastes life;
so thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

what is the central idea of the third quatrain?

if you see my love aging, work against it.
do not be lazy; we are all running out of time.
make fun of time, and turn people against it.
write something to ridicule my love’s wrinkles.

Do not be lazy; we are all running out of time.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100", the central idea of the third quatrain is Muse, do not be lazy; we are all running out of time. The Muse is seen by various poets as the source of inspiration. Shakespeare is blaming the Muse for being forgetful, and for spending her time idly. He tells the muse to be back before Time's scythe gets him.

Hope this help(if it did plz mark brainiest)

Have a lovely day!!!

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
