Answer:
The Glove and the Lions‘ by Leigh Hunt
Answer:
“The Glove and the Lions” by Leigh Hunt describes the dangerous games of love that are played in the royal court of the king, and the consequences of going too far.
The poem begins with the speaker describing the event that the royal court, king included, are attending. It is a fight between two lions and all are there to see it play out. The king himself, Francis, is a fan of this particular “sport,” but his attention is split. He is amazed by the brutality of the fight and the fact that he is able to observe it from safety. One the other hand, he is distracted by the beauty of one for whom he “sighs.” She is the lover of another lord.
The lady herself is distracted by the valour of the king, and decided to set a task for her lover. She drops her glove into the lion pit in the hopes that he will jump in and retrieve it for her. He does just this, but is not pleased with her actions. He throws her glove in her face and leaves the arena. He does not believe that any true lover would set “such a task.”
