Helen grey by christina georgina rossetti because one loves you, helen grey, is that a reason you should pout, and like a march wind veer about, and frown, and say your shrewish say? don't strain the cord until it snaps, don't split the sound heart with your wedge, don't cut your fingers with the edge of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. because you're handsome, helen grey, is that a reason to be proud? ✔ your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, your steps go mincing on their way; but so you miss that modest charm which is the surest charm of all: take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm. stoop from your cold height, helen grey, come down, and take a lowlier place; come down, to fill it now with grace; come down you must perforce some day: for years cannot be kept at bay, and fading years will make you old; then in their turn will men seem cold, when you yourself are nipped and grey. how does the line in bold suggest a key idea developed in the poem? a) it compares real qualities with superficial ones. b) it confirms that helen is attractive. c) it implies beauty is nothing to celebrate. d) it suggests pride should be based on other things.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
