Question

Why does the poet think that it is useless to give the following suggestion to the boy? No use to say-‘O there are other balls’:

Answer 1

According to the poet, it is useless to console the boy by saying that he can get another ball in place of the lost one. The boy had a long association with the ball. It was, thus, useless to give him such a suggestion because he wanted to get back the belli that he had lost.
