Question 1

Ozymandias

Answer 1

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Whose grown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Look on my works ye mighty and despair

Question 2

London

Answer 2

And mark in every face I meet marks of weakness marks of woe

The mind forged manacles I hear

How the youthful harlots curse blasts the new born infants tear

Question 3

The prelude

And growing still in stature the grim shape towered up between me and the stars

O’er my thoughts there hung a darkness

Question 4

My last duchess

Answer 4

Will’t please you sit and look at her

Sir, ‘‘twas not her husbands presence only called that spot of joy into the Duchess’ cheek

I have command then all smiles stopped together

Question 5

Charge if the light brigade

Answer 5

Not though the soldier know someone has blundered

Into the jaws of death into the mouth of hell

Honour the charge they made! Honour the light brigade, noble six hundred
