Answer:
1) A person must feel a sense of pride and excitement in his heart when he returns to his own country. If he does not feel a sense of loyalty or belongingness to the country, he is as good as dead.
2)The poet imagines a man who does not feel a sense of belonging to his own country. When the man returns home from his travels in foreign countries, he feels no pride or excitement. His money and power lures him and he strives to return to the foreign land for his power and riches.
3)a) According to the speaker, the man’s devotion to his nation is of more value than his wealth and power.
According to the speaker, the man’s devotion to his nation is of more value than his wealth and power.The lines that tell us this:

3)b) Yes, I completely agree with the poet because if one does not have any feeling of patriotism or loyalty for his motherland, he is as good as dead. Such a person is never ready to fight for his country if the need arises and does not think what is good for his country. He should not be respected even if he has a lot of money and power with him as true renown is achieved only when one has lived all his life for his native land.
4) The line, “The wretch, concentred all in self” tells us that the poet considers the man to be selfish. He is considered so because he is unable to love his own country. He is so invested in himself that he does not feel a sense of belonging to his own country when he returns from a foreign land.
