Question

The speaker of a poem by this author promises that all of his “muscle, sinew, and vein / which tile this house, will come again” after he “contributes his firmness” to a glass pane he engraves. In another poem by this author, the speaker describes the “mintage” of his own tears, which are “coined” by the addressee’s (15[1])face. One of two objects in a third poem by this (15[1])author “leans and (15[1])harkens” after the (15[1])other and “grows erect” as the other “comes (15[1])home.” The (-5[1])speaker cautions the addressee not to (15[1])make (10[1])(*) “sigh-tempests move” in a poem by this author that (10[1])opens, “As virtuous (10[1])men pass (10[1])mildly (10[1])away.” In comparing himself and (10[1])his lover to two arms on a (10[4])compass, this poet (10[4])wrote, “Thy firmness makes (10[1])my circle (10[3])just.” For (10[1])10 points, name this poet who wrote Valedictions “of (10[1])Weeping” and (10[1])“Forbidding Mourning.” (10[1]0[2])■END■
