How does the author’s use of stanzas affect the meaning of “a thousand martyrs”? use evidence from the poem to support your response. at least one complete paragraph.
the poem:
a thousand martyrs by aphra behn
a thousand martyrs i have made,
all sacrificed to my desire;
a thousand beauties have betrayed,
that languish in resistless fire.
the untamed heart to hand i brought,
and fixed the wild and wandering thought.
i never vowed nor sighed in vain
but both, though false, were well received.
the fair are to give us pain,
and what they wish is soon believed.
and though i talked of wounds and smart,
love’s pleasures only touched my heart.
alone the glory and the spoil
i always laughing bore away;
the triumphs, without pain or toil,
without the hell, the heav’n of joy.
and while i thus at random rove
despise the fools that whine for love.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
