Answer any FIVE of the following questions in about 30 words each, choosing not more than Two from each group : (5 2 = 10) (a) (b) GROUP A Ambition is like choler; which is an humour that maketh men active, earnest, full of alacrity, and stirring, if it be not stopped. Fix the content and explain the implication of the passage. But for the moral part, perhaps youth will have the pre-eminence, as age hath for the politic. Fix the context and explain the meaning of these lines. (c) Prosperity is blessing of the old testament ; Adversity is the blessing of the new; which carrieth the greater benediction, and the clearer revelation of God s favour. Fix the context and bring out the significance of the passage.

2 GROUP B (d) (e) (f) O it is she who sweets do stain The lily, rose, the violet. Fix the context and explain the meaning. Some one his song in Jove and Jove s strange. Brodered with bulls and swans, powder d with golden rain Fix the context and bring out the significance of these words. Batter my heart, three person d God ; for, you As Yet but knock, breathe, shine and seek to mend : Fix the context and explain the implication of these lines. GROUP C (g) Hell hath no limits nor is circumscribed In one self place, for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be. Fix the context of the passage and explain its meaning. 2

3 (h) Was this the face that launch d a thousand ships. And burnt the topless towers of Illium? Fix the context and highlight the significance of the passage. (i) Marriage is but a ceremonial toy ; If thou lovest me, think no more of it. Fix the context and explain the meaning. 2. Write short notes on any FIVE of the following questions in about 100 words each choosing atleast Two from each group : (5 5 = 25) (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) GROUP A Summarize the views of Bacon in his essay Of Ambition. Discuss the theme of The Book of Job. Sketch the character of Job. Explain how Shakespeare praises the virtues of his friend in the sonnet. Shall I compare Thee to a Summer s Day. GROUP B Explain why Fastus rejects conventional subjects and choose to study necromancy. Attempt a character sketch of Faustus. 3

4 (g) (h) Comment on the plot construction of the play Every Man in His Humour. Discuss the role of Kitely in the play Every Man in His Humour. 3. Answer the following questions in about 300 words each : (4 15 = 60) (a) (i) Write an essay on Bacon s views about ceremonies and respects. (ii) Discuss the greatness of Bacon as an essayist with special reference to the prescribed essays. (b) (i) Consider The Book of Job as a tragedy. (ii) Explain how surrey s sonnet Alas, so all things now depicts the agonizing state of the poet s mind afflicted by love. (c) (i) Discuss Dr. Faustus as a morality play. (ii) Examine the renaissance elements in Doctor Faustus. 4 [P.T.O.]

5 (d) (i) Consider the play everyman in his humour as a comedy. (ii) We know more about London from the plays of Ben Jonson than from any book of history. Justify with particular reference to Everyman in His humour. 4. Critically examine the following passage in about 100 words : (1 5 = 5) The greatness of an estate, in bulk and territory, doth fall under measure; and the greatness of finances and revenue doth fall under computation. The population may appear by musters; and the number and greatness of cities and town s by cards and maps. But yet there is not anything amongst civil affairs more subject to error, than the right valuation and true judgement concerning the power and forces of an estate. The kingdom of heaven is compared, not to any great Kernel or net, but to a grain of mustard seed; which is one of the least grains, but hath in it a property and spirit hastily to get up and spread. So are there 5

6 states great in territory, and yet not apt to enlarge or command; and some that value have but a small dimension of stem, and yet apt top be the foundations of great monarchies. 6
