Answer 1

Answer:

hello

[ Here it means reward . The speaker tried to do the impossible for the pleasure of his admirers. He did whatever he could do for his countrymen

and he did his best. But what reward had he got? He was arrested for some misdeeds and was being led to the gallows to be executed in public. He felt sad that people had forgotten all that he had done for them. ]

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{Hello\:Mate..!!}$

Here's Your Answer..!!

Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun

To give it my loving friends to keep

Nought man could do, have I left undone:

And you see my harvest, what I reap

This very day, now a year is run.

The term 'harvest’ can be identified as a metaphor for karma.

The poet uses this to explain his situation. He tells us that what he is actually facing isn't what he should.

He has made many sacrifices for the ones who, today, are the ones who hate him. He tells us that many of his friends died probably because of his own actions.

"Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun To give it my loving friends to keep!" suggests that his actions somehow caused the death of his own friends.

All over, he means to say that even after such sacrifices he is going to end in a way he doesn't deserve.

Hope This Helps..!!
