Answer:

The rhythm supports the fast pace of the narrator's immature love.

Explanation:

In William Butler Yeats' poem "Down by the Salley Gardens", the speaker is a lover who meets his beloved "down by the salley gardens". And being young, the speaker reveals his love for her, depicting the fast-paced nature of his immature love.

In the given lines from the poem, the speaker reveals how they met. The speaker admits, "I, being young and foolish" would not agree with her advice to take "love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree".

Throughout the four lines given, the rhythm focuses on the fast-paced nature of the speaker's love for 'his love', though immature.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
