Matching the bolded phrases to their meanings in the context of this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 2.

besiege - surround, overwhelm

deep trenches - deep pits, wrinkles

proud livery - charms

tatter'd weed - destroyed and wasted

The central theme of Shakespeare's Sonnet 2 is procreating being young for beauty's sake before it is too late. This is an important theme because average life could be thirty-five years. So it is important to have children before reaching forty years of age, because beauty can be overwhelmed, full of deep wrinkles, destroyed and wasted.

Answer from: fredvales19

Besiege- surround, overwhelm.

trenches- deep pits, wrinkles.

proud livery - charms.

tatter'd weed- destroyed and wasted.

Explanation:

Assuming the tiles that are to be matched with the words in the sonnet lines are-

charms, deep pits, wrinkles, surround, overwhelm, destroyed and wasted

Then, the whole excerpt will become-

1. When forty winters shall besiege thy brow, will be matched with the words surround and overwhelm.

The word besiege literally to be taken over by some power, to be surrounded or overtaken by some outside force.

2. And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, - deep pits, wrinkles.

Deep trenches are the pits or hollow spaces dug on the ground. In regards to the sonnet, we can imply that they refer to the wrinkles n the face of the person.

3. Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now, - charms.

Livery is an asorning symbol for one's position in a decorated way. It represents the beauty of the owner. So, the livery in the poem implies the charms of the person, the beauty of that person.

4. Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held: - destroyed and wasted.

Tattered is a condition of someone or something in a worn out, destroyed manner. It shows the dilapidated state of that thing or person. Thus, the word "tatter'd weed" in the poem implies the destroyed and wasted state of the person's beauty after she had grown old.

Reread this portion of the excerpted text from common sense. men of passive tempers look somewhat lightly over the offenses of britain, and, still hoping for the best, are apt to call out, come, we shall be friends again for all this. but examine the passions and feelings of mankind. bring the doctrine of reconciliation to the touchstone of nature, and then tell me, whether you can hereafter love, honor, and faithfully serve the power that hath carried fire and sword into your land? if you cannot do all these, then are you only deceiving yourselves, and by your delay bringing ruin upon posterity. your future connection with britain, whom you can neither love nor honor, will be forced and unnatural, and being formed only on the plan of present convenience, will in a little time fall into a relapse more wretched than the first. what key concept about the relationship between an abusive government and its citizens does paine want readers to understand? use evidence from the text to support your response. your response should be one to two complete paragraphs.
