Answer 1

Despite their irritation people agree that the song is well-meant.

Explanation:

Although Bhisma Lochan’s singing is loud and unpleasant, the people realize that he has good intentions. The poem says they retire amazed “although they know it’s well meant.” This adds humour by contrasting his sincere intention with the terrible effect of his singing.
