11. 1 archer, Cupid 2 descries, reveals 3 Do … ungratefulness, Do they
call ungratefulness a virtue there?

12. This slide should include a paragraph explaining the effect of the use of apostrophe in the preceding poem.
Apostrophe is used in this poem to extend the plaintiveness and coldness often poetically used in the description of the moon. The use of apostrophe is particularly effective because the poet asks for guidance from a cold, lifeless source. The device adds to the thoughts of solitude and despair.
