Question

(B) Read the following poem and answer the questions given below.
Fame is a food that dead men cat,
I have no stomach for such mcal,
In little light and narrow room,
They cat in the silent tomb,
With no kind voice of comrade near To bid the
feaster be of cheer.
But friendship is a noble thing,
Of friendship it is good to sing.
For truly when a man shall end,
He lives in memory of his friend,
Who doth his better part recall,
And of his fault make funeral.
- Henry Austin Dobson
