First, spell 'plague' correctly. Common misspellings include plauge, plaque and plage. The middle one there is still something to look out for, but nothing that regular floss and a good dentist can't handle.
A few other things we didn't handle in class are found in this article; particularly take note that this was part of a larger work that was meant overall to be a comedy! What does that suggest about the nature of this poem? What is being ridiculed? Additionally, this poem was a song!
Be cautious when looking up this poem - initial results will feature Mr. Sir's site but also a few student analyses including a blog entry and a prezi slideshow. Look at what they have to say if you like, and be very critical of their conclusions. Decide how well they have argued (or, in some cases, if they've argued anything at all!)
Have fun. I'll add more links to the side, but I think this plus your own searches and existing notes should be fine for this moment.
