1 WYNBERG BOYS HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE GRADE 10 LITERATURE TEST MARCH 2012 TIME: 1 hr EXAMINERS: GO/DM TOTAL: 40 SECTION A: and Juliet QUESTION 1 Read the passage below and answer the following questions: Enter See, where he comes: so please you, step aside; I'll know his grievance, or be much denied. MONTAGUE I would thou wert so happy by thy stay, To hear true shrift. Come, madam, let's away. Exeunt MONTAGUE and LADY MONTAGUE Good-morrow, cousin. Is the day so young? But new struck nine. Ay me! sad hours seem long. Was that my father that went hence so fast? It was. What sadness lengthens 's hours? Not having that, which, having, makes them short. In love? Out-- Of love? Out of her favour, where I am in love. Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will! Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Here's much to do with hate, but more with love. Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness! serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!

2 Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou not laugh? No, coz, I rather weep. Good heart, at what? At thy good heart's oppression. Why, such is love's transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears: What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet. Farewell, my coz. Soft! I will go along; An if you leave me so, you do me wrong. Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here; This is not, he's some other where. Tell me in sadness, who is that you love. What, shall I groan and tell thee? Groan! why, no. But sadly tell me who. Bid a sick man in sadness make his will: Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill! In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman. I aim'd so near, when I supposed you loved. A right good mark-man! And she's fair I love. A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit. Well, in that hit you miss: she'll not be hit With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit; And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd, From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd. She will not stay the siege of loving terms, Nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes, Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold: O, she is rich in beauty, only poor, That when she dies with beauty dies her store. Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, For beauty starved with her severity Cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair: She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow Do I live dead that live to tell it now.

3 Be ruled by me, forget to think of her. O, teach me how I should forget to think. By giving liberty unto thine eyes; Examine other beauties. 1.1 Explain the symbolic significance of walking under the sycamore trees. (1) 1.2 is the picture of the courtly lover.

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Juliet Juliet Juliet Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmer s kiss. Have no saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. O, then dear saint, let lips do what hands do! They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. Saints do not move, though grant for prayers sake. Then move not while my prayer s effect I take. (He kisses her.) Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purged Juliet Then have my lips the sin that they have took. 105 Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again. (He kisses her.) 2.1 Suggest one reason why the conversation (until line 103) is styled in sonnet form. (2) 2.2 refers to Juliet as a saint. What does this tell us about how he sees her?

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, 5 Much pleasure, them from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul s delivery. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, 10 And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well, And better than thy stroke; why swell st thou then?

Consign to thee, and come to dust.
