Which example best demonstrates the neoclassical style used in poetry during the age of reason?

a. if ever two were one, then surely we.
if ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
if ever wife was happy in a man,
compare with me ye women if you can.

b. arise, my soul, on wings enraptur'd, rise
to praise the monarch of the earth and skies,
whose goodness and beneficence appear
as round its centre moves the rolling year,
or when the morning glows with rosy charms,
or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms:
of light divine be a rich portion lent
to guide my soul, and favour my intent.

c. we smile, but, o great christ, our cries
to thee from tortured souls arise.
we sing, but oh the clay is vile
beneath our feet, and long the mile;
but let the world dream otherwise,
we wear the mask!

d. i caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
he didn't fight.
he hadn't fought at all.
he hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
