Question

1. Wat does the expression Seythe and
Seade stand for in the poem Dear the
Loveller
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The phrases mentioned in the question symbolize the fact that death is impartial and it comes to all. A crown is what a king wears on his head, and a sceptre is a staff of authority that a king holds in his hand, so "sceptre and crown must tumble down" means that kings must die too, just like everybody else. Scythes and spades are implements that poor people use in agriculture, so "in the dust be equal made with the poor crooked scythe and spade" means that in death, kings are no different than poor people. Once they are dead, they are all the same, unless they were just people who performed actions worthy of remembrance.
