Answer 1

Answer:

1 The poet like the man who lives in the present and performs good deeds without wasting a moment of his life.

2 we can command the present by completing our work in the present and not postponing it in the future. We should act at the moment and not repent in the future. We should not put off the work till tomorrow and try to achieve it in the present only.

3 if we will throw the hours away we will face difficulties in reading out the exact time . ... it will be most difficult for knowing the exact time ,we have to do so much calculations. as time is calculated in a systematic way ,i.e,1 minute =60 seconds,60 minutes = 1 hour ,etc.

4 We should not put off any work/good deed till tomorrow because it will get into our habit and the work will never be done in time. We will loose control in the present.

5 Say and today, wait and late, do-to-day and away and fortell and well.

6 Rhyming scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line of a poem or song. It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme; lines designated with the same letter all rhyme with each other.
