Question

What does the line ,'the hand that mock'd and the heart that fed' mean?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It means both "made fun of" and "copied," or "imitated." "Hand" is a stand-in for the sculptor. So the sculptor both belittled and copied this man's passions. "The heart that fed" is a tricky phrase; it refers to the heart that "fed" or nourished the passions of the man that the statue represents.
