Question

the pilgrimage

I traveled on,seeing the hil,where lay
my expectation,
A long it was and weary way
the gloomy cave of Desperation
i left on the one , and on the other side
the rock of pride
and so i came fancy's meadow strowed
with many a flower
fain would i here have madeabode
but i was quickened by my hour
so to care's copse i came ,and there got through
with much ado
thet led me to the wild of passion,which
some call the world
a wasted place but sometimes rich
here i was robbed of all my gold
save one good angel , which a friend had tied
close to my side
at length i got unto the gladsome hill
where lay my hope
where lay my heart ;and climbing still
when i had gained the brow and top
a lake of brackish waters on the ground
was all i found
with that abashed and struck with many a sting
of swarming fears
i fell,and cried,Alas my king!
can both the way and end be tears?
yet taking heart i rose ,and then perceived
i was deceived
my hill was further;so i flung away
yet heard a cry
just asi went,None goes that way
and lives.If that be all,said i,
after so foul a journey death is fair,
and but a chair

Answer 1

Sounds to me like uncertainty of dashed hope after making choices that are once promising but deceiving, Fancy's meadow, place of wild passion beckon but that is where robbery resides even the gladsome hill turn out to be a lake of brackish waters and so the recognition that the blissful hill is further ahead but no one takes that path and lives, and the buccaneer, pilgrim recognizes that death may be preferable as a comfortable chair if hope our hopes are this elusive!

Answer 2

Sounds like a man in a dream striving for love but it is like an elusive butterfly and the hardships to find it.

Answer 3

I believe the poem is talking about life and how we can be fooled during our lifetime. by the perils of temptation. We can overcome the perils we encounter but how hard it will be to do so and how lucky we will be to have one good friend who we can count on.(God) The poem also says that after conquering the perils of life that death is a welcome rest.
