C Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, D For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, C And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe, D And moan the expense of many a vanished sight: E Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,

Personificationyour memories are not physically heavy Solution (Heroic Couplet)

F And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er E The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, F Which I new pay as if not paid before. G But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, G All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.

He has already grieved, yet he is grieving again.

Spondaic pentameter- sharp sounds demonstrates the power behind the heroic couplet.

The problem is resolved.
