    I could help with the Il Penseroso one; I've done some research on it. What sort of ideas did you have?
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    No, firstly, I have problems with understanding most of the lines. Do you have any version that paraphrases it?
