From “The Chimney Sweeper” When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue, Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.
In the first stanza from William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper,” how does the speaker get his job?


He is sold to his employer by his father.

He is given to his employer as a favor to his mother.

He is exchanged with money through a bribe.
