hou go not, like the quarry - slave at night,
scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
by an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.\

# Brief Explanations:
Enjambment is a poetic device where a sentence or phrase runs over from one line to the next without a punctuation mark at the end of the first line. Let's analyze each line:
- Line 1: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," ends with a comma? No, wait, the first line ends with a comma? Wait, no, let's check the flow. Line 1: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma? Wait, no, the next line starts with "Scourged...", but the first line's thought? Wait, no, let's list the lines:
Line 1: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma? Wait, no, the next line: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – does the first line's idea continue? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the lines are:
1. "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma? Wait, no, the actual line ends with a comma? Wait, no, the first line: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," – the next line: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – does the first line's sentence continue? No, wait, maybe the enjambments are where the line ends without a punctuation that would end the thought. Let's check each line:
Line 1: ends with a comma? Wait, no, the original line: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," – the comma is internal. Wait, no, the next line: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – does the first line's thought end? No, maybe not. Wait, line 2: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – ends without punctuation (wait, no, the line ends, but the thought continues? Wait, line 3: "By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave," – so line 2 ends, and line 3 starts the next part? Wait, no, let's check the enjambments:
- Line 1 to Line 2: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma, but the next line "Scourged..." – is the thought continuing? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's recall: enjambment is when a line ends without a period, comma, semicolon, or colon that would normally end the clause or phrase. So let's check each line's end:
Line 1: ends with a comma? Wait, no, the line is "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," – the comma is inside the line, not at the end? Wait, no, the line ends with a comma. Wait, maybe the correct way: let's list the lines with their endings:
Line 1: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma)
Line 2: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" (ends without punctuation)
Line 3: "By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave," (ends with comma)
Line 4: "Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch" (ends without punctuation)
Line 5: "About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." (ends with period)

Now, enjambment occurs when a line ends without a punctuation that would terminate the syntactic unit. So:

- Line 2 ends without punctuation, so the thought from line 1 - 2? Wait, no, line 1 ends with comma (internal), line 2 ends without punctuation, so the clause from line 1 ("Thou go not...") – no, line 2 starts a new clause? Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating. Let's count the enjambments:

Line 1: ends with comma (not enjambment, since comma is a pause, but the line's end has a comma? Wait, no, the line is "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," – the comma is at the end? Wait, maybe the original line ends with a comma. Then line 2: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – ends without punctuation, so the thought from line 1? No, line 1's thought: "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," – the next line "Scourged..." – is that a new clause? Wait, maybe the enjambments are between line 2 - 3, line 4 - 5? Wait, no. Wait, let's check the correct count. Let's see the lines:

1. "Thou go not, like the quarry - slave at night," (ends with comma – not enjambment, as comma is a punctuation that pauses, but the line ends with comma, so the thought is paused, not enjambed? Wait, no, enjambment is when the line ends without a punctuation that would end the phrase. So if a line ends with a comma, it's not enjambed, because the comma is a punctuation that indicates a pause, but the thought continues? Wait, no, maybe I got it wrong. Let's check a definition: Enjambment is the continuation of a sentence or clause across a line break in poetry without a pause. So if a line ends with a punctuation (comma, period, etc.), it's not enjambed. So let's check each line's end:

Line 1: ends with a comma – so the thought pauses, not enjambed.

Line 2: "Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed" – ends without punctuation (the line ends, but no comma, period, etc. at the end) – so this is enjambment (thought continues to line 3).

Line 3: "By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave," – ends with a comma – not enjambed.

Line 4: "Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch" – ends without punctuation – enjambment (thought continues to line 5).

Line 5: ends with period – not enjambed.

So that's two enjambments: line 2 to line 3, and line 4 to line 5. Wait, but wait, line 1 to line 2: line 1 ends with comma, line 2 starts with "Scourged...", is that enjambment? No, because line 1 ends with a comma, which is a punctuation. So the enjambments are line 2 (ends without punctuation, continues to line 3) and line 4 (ends without punctuation, continues to line 5). So that's two.
