why does the mother suspect the man has been poisoned? (Lord Randal)
The refrains in the fifth stanza of "Lord Randall" create a sense of despair and hopelessness as they reinforce the repetitive nature of the conversation between Lord Randall and his mother. The variations in the repeated lines highlight the mother's growing concern and emphasize the inevitability of Lord Randall's fate.
The speaker in the poem "Lord Randall" is Lord Randall himself. The poem is a dramatic monologue where Lord Randall recounts a conversation with his mother about his strange and unsettling encounter with his lover. Through his dialogue, we learn about his poisoning and impending death.
The only thought that occurs to me, considering that his mother feels she needs to ask him about his bequests (he gives his mother his gold and silver), is that somehow the lover felt that since he had declared his love for her she would get his dough if he died ("I didn't know the brown and speckled eels were poison, honest!")
