Answer 1

Answer:

capitalisticparliamentarian

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed slackens now, I float

Awhile in my air boat;

Till when the wheels scare crawl,

My feet to the treadles fall

Explanation:

• The poet once rode a bicycle downhill. He didn't even need to peddle.
• Now that the poet has arrived at the bottom of the hill, he is feeling like a bird. His cycle's speed slowed down.
• He had to reapply the pedal with his feet. He had to work hard.
• A short while ago, the poet had the impression that he was floating in an airboat. In this verse, the poet is trying to convey the idea that after a while, we need to renew our efforts.
