Answer: Give out

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines "Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole/Unequal laws unto a savage race... “ written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1842 belong to the poem Ulysses.

Ulysses tells us that he is not satisfied staying home with his old wife, giving out" unequal laws" for the people(savages) who live in his kingdom .Therefore, the definition of mete is give out which is to give something to several people.
