How do word choices in lines 3, 4, and 8 help make the poet's meaning clearer?

In these lines, the
speaker uses words like "crown" (3), "imperially" (4), and
"glittered" (8).These word choices seem to suggest thatis like royalty, at least, that
this is how he is viewed by others.From the outside, it seems that the man has anything and
everything he could want; he is charming and attractive, poised and wealthy, and so everyone
around him believes that he must be terribly happy.How could he be anything but when he has
everything that they would wish for themselves?Yet, they learn that appearances can be
deceiving.Cory may seem as lucky as royalty, but that does not mean he is happy or even
contented.When he takes his life, he proves that appearances count for very little at
all.
