I used to be a British history and literature major. I'm feeling stumped by this one:
Read the following poem carefully before you choose your answers.

Passage
| Against that time (if ever that time come) When I shall see thee frown on my defects, When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum, Called to that audit by advised respects— | |
| Line 5 | Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass, And scarcely greet me with that sun, thine eye, When love, converted from the thing it was, Shall reasons find of settled gravity— Against that time do I ensconce me here |
| Line 10 | Within the knowledge of mine own desert, And this my hand against myself uprear, To guard the lawful reasons on thy part. To leave poor me thou has the strength of laws, Since why to love I can allege no cause. (1609) |
If the speaker is implying in line 10 that he is not deserving of love, which of the following most strongly supports the implication?
