Question

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,

Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!
My hasting days fly on with full career,
But my late spring no bud or blossom showeth.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,
That I to manhood am arrived so near,
And inward ripeness doth much less appear,
That some more timely-happy spirits endueth.

To what season does the speaker compare his time of life in Sonnet VII by John Milton?

A.autumn

B.early fall

C.late summer

D.late spring

Answer 1

Isnt the answer late spring....

Answer 2

D.late spring

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage refers to time and how fast go on, and it specifies that the writer is twenty years old. The writer doesn't feel young anymore and he expresses all of it relating it to the late spring, where he mentions a metaphor saying "no bud or blossom showeth", which can be interpreted as not being content and not having what the writer expected from the season.
