8. Which choice is a Limerick Poem?

• There was an Old Man of Nantucket

  Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

  His daughter, called Nan,

  Ran away with a man,

  And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

• That at the last, and in short time, I spide,

  Under a rocke, where she alas, opprest,

  Fell to the ground, and there untimely dide.

  Cruell death vanquishing so noble beautie

  Oft makes me wayle so hard a desire.

• Light do I see within my Lady’s eyes

  And loving spirits in its plenisphere

  Which bear in strange delight on my heart’s care

  Till Joy’s awakened from that sepulchre.
