drag each tile to the correct box. not all tiles will be used.
match the bolded phrases to their meanings in the context of this excerpt from william shakespeares sonnet 2.
when forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
and dig deep trenches in thy beautys field,
thy youths proud livery, so gazed on now,
will be a tatterd weed, of small worth held;

charms, grooves, wrinkles, surround, overwhelm, destroyed and wasted
besiege, deep trenches, proud livery, tatterd weed (with drag - and - drop boxes for matching)

Explanation:

1. "besiege" in the sonnet describes winter (old age) closing in on the brow, so it matches "surround".
2. "deep trenches" refers to the lines that form on the face with age, which are wrinkles.
3. "proud livery" refers to the attractive, admired appearance of youth, so it matches "charms".
4. "tatter'd weed" describes the worn, ruined state of beauty in old age, so it matches "destroyed and wasted".

Answer:

besiege ←→ surround
deep trenches ←→ wrinkles
proud livery ←→ charms
tatter'd weed ←→ destroyed and wasted
