Answer 1

These lines are taken from the exceptional poem called "The Last Ride Together" written by Robert Browning.

Explanation:

• In these lines, the poet explains and talks about his ride with his mistress. He wanted to leave all the bad memories and incompetency he faced behind. He only wants to enjoy the ride and its moments with her.

• He also compares his rides with other mistresses and her.

• He describes how one should take a chance rather than regretting later on how they did not take it.
