Question

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,. Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!. My hasting days fly on with full career,. But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.. Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,. That I to manhood am arrived so near,. And inward ripeness doth much less appear,. That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.. In this octave from Sonnet VII by John Milton, Which of the following expresses the speaker feelings about having not yet created a great body of work?. .
A) worried.
B) indifferent.
C) pleased.
D)confident.

Answer 1

I would go with A. worried.
To me, Milton seems worried because he hasn't yet created a great body of work, and he is 23 already. He feels that he should have created something important by that moment, and he is worried that his life is passing by without him accomplishing anything. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is A.
