“Adieu! Cousin Diana” “Adios! Nurse Diana”
“Farewell” “Vale, Mistress Diana” “Farewell”
These lines represents the voices of the friends and family of the dead. They are shedding crocodile tears so dramatic as part of the rites while nothing hurts them within.
LINE 3
Those art the dissembled squalls
The author describes the wails of the mourners as "dissembled" here, meaning they are just meant to deceive or gain mere empathy
LINE 4
Of friends and family foregathered
Those people gathered there were the family and friends of the dead, Diana. They were the immediate mourners the author seeks to address.
LINE 5
Around the casket of thy Nightingale
The mourners had gathered around the coffin of the dead. The dead Diana is described here as Nightingale because she was yes a mighty tree amongst the family and friends. And that, the author sees she had to receive true love even when dead than to take just yells full or hypocrisy and pretence.
LINE 6
Concurrently, the maidens hath ready
Here is where materializes the true being of the 'mourners' that the author seeks to disclose. While they appear to mourn the dead, they had made servants, and cooks prepare stuff like ever before in the house. And guess what those food and drinks were for.
LINE 7
Their party-like cookings and ale
The author here gives a clearer picture of what and how they really did in that period of sadness. Think of every food you would expect at a grand party, it was present. And drinks, ale...whatever.
LINE 8
Alack! Hither art thy place for prattles?
"Unfortunately, Damn! Is here the place for unnecessary talks and celebration?", said the author. The thought they should at least mourn since a friend/relative is dead even if she did no good. If they couldn't mourn, partying shouldn't be an option.
LINE 9
Fie on thee! Thou act like fusty nuts without kernel
Shame on you! You are incomplete in thinking capacity...", he continued. The author insults them because of how they tend to pay someone who was great to them like Nurse Florence Nightingale with England at war.
LINE 10
What hath thee wrought?
"What have you done?"
LINE 11
Wherefore deceiveth thyself this morrow?
"Why do you deceive yourself this morning?"
LINE 12
Out upon thee! Ye clodpoles
"Get lost, you down-headed people"
LINE 13
I marvel much forth; wherefore shouteth “Huzzah!”
"I was really surprised afterwards; Why do you shout 'Huzzah'!- a shout of joy
LINE 14
And no tears were shed for Diana
The author were surprised throughout even more when some shouted for cheers without a cry.
Comment who the author was!
