Q

Identify and explain the motif present in the following passage: “All things that we ordained festival/ Turn from their office to black funeral; Our instruments to melancholy bells, Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast, Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change, / Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,/And all things change them to the contrary.”
