    5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves."

    (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

    Answer:

    burthen: meaning, weight, or significance recompence: reward loon: a silly or foolish person rill: a small stream measure: the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

    Explanation:

    Wordsworth talks of a mystery that represents a weight on him, a burden that is being lightened. A recompence is a kind of compensation or reward. A person deemed a loon is considered to act foolishly. A rill is the definition of a very small stream. Measure refers to a portion of time within a section of music determined by a specific number of beats.
