look at these excerpts from some famous poems. Identify the subject and the subject-word as well as its attribute in each sentence. Underline the predicates. Put a (/) where the subject has been omitted.

1. a crumb of cake would be a feast

and last you seven days at least.

a flea would be a frightening beast.

If you were one inch tall.

2. Out of the huts of historys shame

I rise.

Up from a past thats rooted in pain

I rise.

3. Do not go gentle into that good night.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

4. Where now is the horse and the rider?

Where is the horn that was blowing?
