Read the poem below and answer the question below:

Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn,

Grew lean while he assailed the seasons

He wept that he was ever born,

And he had reasons.
 

Miniver loved the days of old

When swords were bright and steeds prancing

The vision of a warrior bold

Would set him dancing.
