Which of the following line DO NOT deal with the death of the athlete and the theme of the poem?

a) Smart lad, to slip betimes away

From fields where glory does not stay,

b) And silence sounds no worse than cheers

After earth has stopped the ears:

c) Man and boy stood cheering by,

And home we brought you shoulder-high.

d) And set you at your threshold down,

Townsman of a stiller town.
