Read the stanza from "The Battle of Blenheim." "And everybody praised the Duke Who this great fight did win." "But what good came of it at last?" Quoth little Peterkin. "Why that I cannot tell," said he, "But 'twas a famous victory." How does Robert Southey's word choice affect the tone in this stanza of the poem? It suggests a honest and matter-of-fact tone. It creates a sad and mournful tone. It suggests a hopeful and sincere tone. It creates an ironic and sarcastic tone.
