1. Sir Patrick Spens
- " Drinking the blue-reid wine" blue-reid is the metaphor describe
the King's power. Is it right?

I don't think so.

-Line 25 : Late, late yestre'en I saw the new moon". What the meaning
of " new moon"

No particular meaning. it is a new moon because it has risen again tonight.

2. Ozymandias
Would you like to explain again about 2 sentences " Which yet
survive,stamped on these lifeless things / The hand that mocked them,
and the heart that fed"

Those passions(king's passions) are printed on the stone and that stone lives longer than the sculptor's hand and the king's heart. So, The Art is permanent whereas the king and the artist himself are not.

3. My last Duchess
" Who'd stoop to blame". what meaning of this sentence?

A man with any sense of pride would not blame like that because blaming itself is a kind of humiliation.
