Question
Why are the pronouns referring to the Sun capitalized?
Solution
The pronouns referring to the Sun are capitalized because the poet personifies it as a monarch. The grandeur of the sun is enhanced here. The sun sometimes shines ‘Whole’, while at times it is ‘half’ or ‘utter hid’ and has ‘Estates of Cloud’ to protect him from the mortal gaze.
