Question

Pluck the young sucking cubs from the she – bear;

Yea, mock the lion when he roars for prey,

To win thee, lady. But, alas the while!

If Hercules and Lichas play at dice

Which is the better man, the greater throw

May turn by fortune form the weaker hand:

So is Alcides beaten by his page;

And so may I, blind fortune leading me,

Miss that which one unworthier may attain,

And die with grieving.








Why do you think that the speaker would “....die with the grieving”?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In “Because I could not stop for Death—,” we see death personified. The speaker feels no fear when Death picks her up in his carriage, she just sees it as an act of kindness, as she was too busy to find time for him.
