Attempt any FIVE questions including COMPULSORY Question No. 1. Attempt at least TWO questions from each section. All questions carry equal marks. 

1. Explain with reference to the context any THREE of the following: 

(i) The Cricket's Song, in warmth increasing ever, 

And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, 

The Grasshopper's among grassy hills. 

(ii) The beauteous forms, 

Through a long absence, have not been to me. 

As is a landscape to a blind man's eye: 

(iii) No son of mine succeeding, if 't be so, 

For Banquo's issue have I fil'd my mind

(iv) O thou sould of my soul! I shall clasp thee again, 

And with God be the rest!

(v) I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet. 

When far away an interrupted cry

Came over houses from another Street.
