what is it called when a saying has two meanings?
double entendre
the first, "to repeat", seems connected with the punning phrase "two rendered he" and with the couplet's "repetition." but the other two meanings are more interesting : "to melt (fat, etc.)", and to "reproduce or represent, esp. by artistic means; to depict". these meanings join the tangled double entendres in "enter [endure, end here, and hear] quietuses two [to] render thee" to suggest such readings of line 12 as "you're suffering a melt-down over this couplet" and "nature's two 'quietuses' intrude here to depict you". because an "audit" was originally a "hearing," one ironic idea here is that something silent (like the missing couplet) can be "heard" and "must be answered--or can be "anne's word." the pun "end here" (line 12) signals the poet's early ending in line 12, not 14. a different kind of runic wit occurs in the punning conceit "enter quietuses to [two]" where two abstractions—the empty couplet lines—hover like hooded figures in a medieval morality.
