Answers
The Patriot by Robert Browning.
Explanation:
1. The narrator says that he is hurt because he's been taken to scaffold for execution. The very people whom the narrator tried to please were the ones who hurt him. This tells us that these people are selfish.
2. The misdeeds refer to some actions that the Patriot must have taken during his service. These misdeeds changed the attitude of the public towards the narrator as some of his actions must have caused them some sort of discomfort for a short period.
3. The poem portrays the sudden rise and fall of glory of the man in portraying the Patriot as a hero in the first two stanzas, where people were ready to give him the sun as well. But when the narrator (or Patriot) did something (Leaped at the sun) public began to criticize him.
