What does the allusion to midas in the third stanza reveal about the speaker

The allusion to Midas reveals the differences of ages between the Chaperon and Midas.

Explanation:

Third stanza:

"They bow as my young Midas here  (emphasys on the young)

Will never learn to bow

(The dancing-masters do not teach

That gracious reverence now)(...)";  (Such things aren't taught to the young anymore)

The contrast between their ages is clearer during the fourth stanza:

"I watch my chaperon's face,

And see the dear old features take   (the chaperon is old)

A new and tender grace;

And in her happy eyes I see

Her youth awakening bright,

With all its hope, desire, delight--

Ah, me! I wish that I were quite

As young--as young as she!" (I wish I were as young as she)

can’t really write an essay but think about ur goal and think “how would i do this” sorry if it didn’t

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
