Solution
The correct option is C swift horses The word 'courser' literally means a swift horse. So, when the poet says "Nor any coursers like a page/ Of prancing poetry" she uses the simile swift horse to imply that nothing will take us to a far-away land as fast as a page of poetry can. In this context none of the option apart from option A fit. So, A is our answer.
