PROSODY PRACTICE SET - 4
SUGGESTION - 2018 SERIES
UNIVERSITY OF GOUR BANGA
Scan the following verse and mention the prosodic name, if any.
Question - 1
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Question - 2
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of
farewell,
When I embark;
Question - 3
O,
for a draught of vintage! that hath been
Cool'd
a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting
of Flora and the country green,
Dance,
and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
O
for a beaker full of the warm South,
Full
of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
With
beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
And
purple-stained mouth;
That
I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
And
with thee fade away into the forest dim:
