Question

What is indicated by the line ‘The bloody sun, at noon,/Right up above the mast did stand,/No bigger than the moon’?

Answer 1

The line ‘bloody sun at noon’ indicates the fury and heat of the sun at noon-time. At noon the sun looks red like the colour of blood. At noon time the sun came up above the mast. At that time it was not big ball as it appears in the morning or at the time of its setting. At noon the sun was not bigger than the moon.
