उत्तर

Some expressions of humour from the extract are as follows:

  1. An ass‘s nole I fixed on his head.
  2. And forth my mimic comes. When they him spy,
    As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
  3. Sever themselves, and madly sweep the sky, So, at his sight, away from his fellows fly;
  4. Then will two at once woo one;
    That must need to be sport alone:
    And those things do best please me
    That befall preposterously.
  5. Away, you Ethiope!
  6. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose,
    Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent!
  7. Get you gone, you dwarf;
    You minimus, of hind'ring knot-grass made;
    You bead, you acorn.
  8. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray:
    My legs are longer though, to run away.

It's doing your job the best you can,
And being just to your fellow man;
It's making money-but holding friends,
And being true to your aims and ends.

It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high;
And dreaming a little and doing much,
It's keeping always in closest touch.

With what is finest in word and deed,
It's being through, yet making speed;

It's daring blithely the field of chance,
While making labour a brave romance.

It’s going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet;
It's struggling on with the will to win,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin.
