Question

The poet cautions us not to boast of their mighty deeds .why does he do so?

Answer 1

Death the Leveller" explains the power of death against everyone. In stanza one, the speaker makes it clear death will come for everyone regardless of any social status. The second stanza discusses warriors, contrasting their success in battle with the moment they, themselves, must submit to death. In the final stanza, the speaker addresses the reader and reminds people that, similar to how both the victors and victims of war all eventually die, it is certain that we will die, as well, and those who are honorable will be remembered well after their end
