The Constant Lover Extra Credit

The Constant Lover

OUT upon it, I have loved
Three whole days together!
And am like to love three more,
If it prove fair weather.
Time shall moult away his wings	5
Ere he shall discover
In the whole wide world again
Such a constant lover.
But the spite on 't is, no praise
Is due at all to me:	10
Love with me had made no stays,
Had it any been but she.
Had it any been but she,
And that very face,
There had been at least ere this	15
A dozen dozen in her place.

1. In the first stanza of “The Constant Lover,” how long has the speaker loved?

2. According to lines 3-4, what conditions are necessary for the speaker to continue to love?

3. In the second stanza, how long will it be before Time will find a lover as constant as the speaker?

4. According to stanza 3, why is praise not due the speaker?

5. In the last stanza, what reason does the speaker give for not leaving his lady for another “a dozen dozen” women?

“In 287 a senior Roman officer named Carausius, who had been put in charge of a campaign to clear an infestation of pirates out of the Channel, came under strong suspicion of allowing the raids to happen and
misappropriating the loot when it was subsequently seized by his fleet” (Morgan 34).

How to do corrections

How to Do Corrections for Dr. Carter

1.       First, write a cover letter in which you:

a.       Thank your teacher for the opportunity to improve your writing. This thank-you need not be overly long, but should not be ironic.

b.      Describe the worst errors  you had in your paper.

c.       Describe what strategies you are going to use to ensure that you do not make those errors ever again. Be specific; “I am going to try harder” is NOT a strategy.

2.       Then copy and paste your errors into a new document and label them, e.g.

Fragment:           Beowulf feels confidence. Confidence in himself.

3.       Then underneath the error, write the correction, e.g.

 

Fragment:           Beowulf feels confidence. Confidence in himself.

Correction:         Beowulf feels confidence in himself.

 

4.       Then turn the cover letter, the errors and corrections, the original paper, and the grade sheet in to Dr. Carter.
