Question

(6)
Explain with reference to the context the following:
(a) At his right our young Ascanius sat,
Rome's other hope and Pillar of the state
His brows thick fogs instead of glories grace.
And lambent dullness played around his face.
Or, Nor let thy mountain belly make pretence
Of likeness, thine's a tympany of sense.
A tun of man in thy large bulk is writ,
But sure thou art but a Kilderkin of wit.
At length burst in the argent revelry,
With plume, tiara, and all rich array,
Numerous as shadow haunting faerily
The brain, new stuffd in youth, with triumphs gay
Of old romance.
They glide like phantoms into the wide hall:
Like phantoms, to the iron porch, they glide;
Where lay the porter, in uneasy sprawl,
With a huge empty flaggon by his side.
(c) Just when I seemed about to learn! Where is the thread now? off again!
The old trick! Only I discern
Infinite Passion, and the pain
Of finite hearts that year.
Or, We look before and after,
And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
(d) One shade the more, one ray the less Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress Or Softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
Or, Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.​
