Sonnet XII
by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
Question 1
Part A
What can be inferred from Shakespeare's "Sonnet XII"?
Animals and plants live without fear.
Time passes quickly for youths.
Everything that lives ages.
Dying young is a waste of life.
Question 2
Part B
Which pair of lines from the sonnet best support the answer in the Part A?
"When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;"
"When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,"
"Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,"
"When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;"
