Question

请好心人帮忙解决有关美国文学的几道题，特别感谢！

以下几道题都是作品节选，不是是出自哪里。
1 The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives,and him that takes;
"Tis mightiest in the mightiest;it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this seeptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice,Therefore Jew,
A William Shakespeare B T,S,Eliot C John Keats D Mark Twain
2 Others abide our question.Thou art free
We ask and ask----Thou smilest and art still,
Our-topping knowledge.For the loftinest hill,
Who to the stars uncrwns his majesty,
Planting the steadfast footsteps in the sea,
Making the heaven of heabens his dwelling-place,
Spares but the cloudy border of his base
To the foil'd searchingof mortality;
A Shakespeare B Matthew Arnold C John Donne D Alexander Pope
