(2) [10] AND / OR QUESTION 2 CONTEXTUAL QUESTION from: Ulysses Alfred, Lord Tennyson It little profits that an idle king, By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. 5 I cannot rest from travel; I will drink Life to the lees. All times I have enjoy'd Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades 10 Vext the dim sea. I am become a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart Much have I seen and known,-- cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, Myself not least, but honor'd of them all, 15 And drunk delight of battle with my peers, Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy. I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades 20 For ever and for ever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life Were all too little, and of one to me 25 Little remains; but every hour is saved From that eternal silence, something more, A bringer of new things; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself, And this gray spirit yearning in desire 30 To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. ICG 5 NSC Grade 11

'drunk delight of battle' (line 16) (1) 2.6 What is the speaker in the poem longing for? (1) [10] AND / OR QUESTION 3 CONTEXTUAL QUESTION On His Blindness John Milton When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present 5 My true account, lest he returning chide, "Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?" I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts: who best 10 Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed And post o'er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait." What is the speaker's 'one Talent'?

It smothered our little houses like fish caught in a net. Scavenging dogs draped in red bandanas of blood 10 fought fiercely for a squirming bundle. I threw a brick they bared fangs flicked velvet tongues of scarlet 15 and scurried away, leaving a mutilated corpsean infant dumped on a rubbish heap- 'Oh! Baby in the Manger sleep well 20 on human dung.' Its mother had melted into the rays of the rising sun, her face glittering with innocence her heart as pure as untrampled dew. 25 Explore the poet's effective use of figurative language and specific words to create a shock-effect in his treatment of the subject matter of this poem. Your response should be words long. [10] AND ICG 7 NSC Grade 11

Lament 1 for a dead cow Francis Carey Slater ( ) (Chant by Xhosa family on the death of Wetu, their only cow) Siyalila, siyalila, inkomo yetu ifile 2! 1 Beautiful was Wetu as a blue shadow That nests on the grey rocks About a sunbaked hilltop: Her coat was black and shiny 5 Like an isipingo-berry; Her horns were as sharp as the horns of the new moon That tosses aloft 3 the evening star; Her rounds eyes were as clear and soft As a mountain-pool, 10 Where shadows dive from the high rocks. No more will Wetu banish teasing flies With her whistling tail; No more will she face yapping curs 4 With lowered horns and bewildered eyes; 15 No more will her slow shadow Comfort the sunburnt veld, and her sweet lowing Delight the hills in the evening. The fountain that filled our calabashes 5 Has been drained by a thirsty sun; 20 The black cloud that brought us white rain Has vanished the sky is empty; Our kraal 6 is desolate; Our calabashes are dry: And we weep. 25 Glossary: 1 lament: a song of mourning 2 Siyalila, siyalila, inkomo yetu ifile: We weep, we weep, our cow is dead! 3 aloft: up 4 yapping curs: barking dogs 5 calabashes: shells of large fruit dried and used as bowls 6 kraal: homestead QUESTION 5 UNSEEN POETRY: ESSAY QUESTION By closely analysing the imagery and figures of speech in this poem, describe what the cow meant to the family and the effect of its loss on the family.

BANQUO That trusted home 120 Might yet enkindle you unto the crown, Besides the thane of Cawdor. But 'tis strange: And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's 125 In deepest consequence. Cousins, a word, I pray you. MACBETH [Aside] Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. I thank you, gentlemen. 130 [Aside] This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion 135 Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair ICG 10 NSC Grade 11

12 7.7.3 Complete the statement made earlier in the play by the witches that is also contradictory, like the words spoken here by Macbeth: Fair is..., (1) 7.8 Quote the SINGLE WORD from lines that shows what Macbeth knows he will have to do, to gain the crown.

There is none but he Whose being I do fear: and, under him, 55 My Genius is rebuked; as, it is said, Mark Antony's was by Caesar. He chid the sisters When first they put the name of king upon me, And bade them speak to him: then prophet-like They hail'd him father to a line of kings: 60 ICG 12 NSC Grade 11
13 Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, Thence to be wrench'd with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. If 't be so, For Banquo's issue have I filed my mind; 65 For them the gracious Duncan have I murder'd; Put rancours in the vessel of my peace Only for them; and mine eternal jewel Given to the common enemy of man, To make them kings, the seed of Banquo kings! 70 Rather than so, come fate into the list.
