In "il penseroso," john milton describes how the poem's melancholy speaker prefers gentle and soothing dreams of sleep to the harsh light of day. which lines in this excerpt from "l'allegro" contrast with those ideas?
there let hymen oft appear
in saffron robe, with taper clear,
and pomp, and feast, and revelry,
with mask, and antique pageantry;
such sights as youthful poets dream
on summer eves by haunted stream.
then to the well-trod stage anon,
if jonson's learned sock be on,
or sweetest shakespeare, fancy's child,
warble his native wood-notes wild.
and ever against eating cares,
lap me in soft lydian airs,
married to immortal verse,
such as the meeting soul may pierce
in notes with many a winding bout
of linked sweetness long drawn out,

In "Il Penseroso," John Milton describes how the poem's melancholy speaker prefers gentle and soothing dreams of sleep to the harsh light of day. The lines in the above excerpt from "L'Allegro" which contrast with those ideas are:

“Married to immortal verse, 

Such as the meeting soul may pierce 

In notes with many a winding bout 

Of linked sweetness long drawn out,”

John Milton's "L'Allegro" and IL Pensoroso" are lyric poems in which the speaker asks melancholy and sadness to go away from his life and dwell at some other place. He calls the goddess of joy and asks her to bring happiness into his life. The poem reflects on the lives of the people and how melancholy and mirth helps them to attain the true meaning of life.  The poet invites melancholy to dwell with him as he thinks that it carries peace, happiness, and contemplation with it.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.

explanation:
