Highlight two words that mean "tired" in this excerpt from Anne Bradstreet's "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest." As WEARY pilgrim, now at REST, Hugs with delight his silent nest, His WASTED limbs now lie full soft That miry steps have trodden oft,

Your teacher would probably accept any of those 3 words.

Answer 2

The two words to be highlighted are: weary and wasted.

In this context weary means that the pilgrim is tired, exhausted, that he has depleted his strength and needs a place to rest, a place to call home.

The second word, wasted, in this context means that the pilgrim´s limbs, his arms and legs, are also exhausted from walking the path to a new land that he can call his own.
