This excerpt is taken from “The Husband’s Message,” a lyric written in response to “The
Wife’s Lament.”
In the hold of a ship, o’er the salt sea-streams,
Where my liege lord sent me oft I have sailed.
Now in a bark’s bosom here am I borne.
Now shalt thou learn of my lord’s loyal love;
[5] His enduring affection I dare to affirm.
Lady ring-laden, he bade me implore thee,
Who carved this wood, that thou call to mind
The pledges you plighted before you were parted,
While still in the same land together you shared
[10] A lordly home and the rapture of love,
Before a feud drove him far from his folk.
He it is bids me eagerly urge
When from the hill slope, out of the wood,
Thou hearest the cuckoo plaintively calling,
[15] Haste thee to ship on the tossing sea.
Let no living man, then, delay thee in sailing,
Stay thee in leaving or stop thee in flight.
Spread thy sail on the home of the sea-mew,
Take seat in thy galley, and steer away south
[20] To where o’er the sea-lane thy lover awaits.
No greater bliss could his heart engage
In all the world —’twas his word to me—
If God the Almighty would grant you two
To dwell together and deal out gifts,
[25] To tried retainers, of treasure and rings

1) In “The Husband’s Message,” the husband of the title is
c. the “liege lord” referred to in line 2.
The speaker is a piece of wood that the husband had carved a message on and sent to his lady to ask her to go to him in the new land where he is settling in.

2. Which of the following is not a likely aspect of the husband’s mood?
b. resentment 

3. Anglo Saxon lyrics developed from
d. the oral tradition

4. Which of the following aspects of the poem would be least likely to be clarified by
considering the work’s historical context?
b. the implications of the phrase the tossing sea

5. Every line in the selection contains an example of a(n) _____.
a. kenning 

Kenning is defined as a compound expression in Old English and Old Norse poetry with metaphorical meaning. I found these compound expressions in the poem: sea-streams, ring-laden, sea-mew

I found an online analysis about this poem in its original poem. The analysis stated that the poem used caesura. Caesura is defined in the article as a set number of stressed syllables – four – with a slight pause in between the first and last two stresses.
