Read the poem and answer the question

I wonder how long, you awful parasite

Shall share me this little bed,

And make me, from sweet dreams be lost

By sucking blood from my poor head.

I should but say man has much

Blood, which you and your families do feed

on; for supper, dinner, and lunch,

And besides, you do in my bed breed.

Clever thou art, tiny creature;

You attend me when I am deep asleep;

When thou art sure, I cant you capture,

Just as the time I snore deep.

''Tis so strange that before twilight,

The bed clear of you would seem;

For not one you is in my sight

As if your presence was in a dream.

• A. amazement
• B. pity
• C. regret
• D. nonchalance
