READ THE POEM BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
A precious, mouldering pleasure it is
To meet an antique book,
In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think,
His venerable hand to take,
And warming in our own,
A passage back, or two, to make
To times when he was young.
His quaint opinions to inspect,
His knowledge to unfold
On what concerns our mutual mind,
The literature of old;
His presence is enchantment,
You beg him not to go;
Old volumes shake their vellum heads
And tantalize, just so.
a.) Why does the poet say ‘His presence is enchantment’?
b.)Identify any one figure of speech used in the poem.
