Read this excerpt from the poem "Prospect of the Future Glory of America" by John Trumbull and answer the questions that follow in one or two sentences.

To views far distant and to scenes more bright,
Along the vale of Time extend thy sight,
Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole,
Wave following wave in long succession roll,
There see, in pomp for ages without end,
The glories of the Western World ascend.
See, this blest land in orient morn appears,
Waked from the slumber of six thousand years,
While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray;
To savage beasts and savage men, a prey.
Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays,
And peace and plenty bless the golden days.
In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise,
Her splendor circling to the boundless skies;
Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms,
The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms.

Answer:

how long it is upps I don't understand

Answer:

Part A- The meter is in iambic pentameter because each line has ten syllables and the rhythm follows the iambic pattern. This means that the stress of each syllable alternates unstressed then stressed. There are five sets of iambs (a pair of syllables: unstressed then stressed) in each line.

Part B- Words used such as dim, slumber, clouds, and darkness are used to describe British oppression. In contrast to these descriptions, Trumbull uses phrases associated with light such as "golden days" and "boundless skies," which are used to symbolize a free nation.

Part C- Trumbull uses personification to present freedom as a powerful force that will bring hope and prosperity to America. Trumbull does so personifying freedom as a godlike figure and a "Queen of empires and the nurse of arms."  

Part D- The poem includes neoclassical elements such as heroic couplets and elevated language throughout the writing. The line "Fair Freedom now her ensign's bright displays" is one example of the elevated style of the poem. The poem also expresses a political point of view, and its subject is a desirable human state in the future.

Part E- The poet starts the stanza with praises for the proverbial Queen. He describes her splendor and her radiance. This phrase for the Queen suggests that the Queen is the ruler of all the empires but when she sees her own men who were fighting for her glory and rule injured, she becomes a nurse to them and brings them back to health.
