Question

"Like a king in exile,uncrowned in the underworld Now due to be crowned again" 1. Why does the poet call the snake a 'king in exile,uncrowned in the world'? 2. How will the snake be crowned again?

Answer 1

The poet calls the snake ‘a king in exile, uncrowned in the world’ because the snake’s behavior was royal, majestic, relaxed, and impressive like that of a king. The snake was in exile because it lives a secluded life in a hole or crevice away from mankind. It was uncrowned because the world did not know the grandeur of the snake.

The snake will be crowned again by the poet when it will come back to its water trough. He will treat it with due respect and ceremony which he could not because of his fear.
