Directions: Read Text IV and answer questions 06, 07 and 08 accordingly.

TEXT IV

I know I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade¹ me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult $\in$ the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
