Answer:

Referring to death as “poor death” causes a weakening and impotence effect in relation to the image we know about death.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about the poem "Death Be Not Proud," where the poet redefines death. He presents death as something weak, limited and despicable, showing that it is not the imposing and arrogant figure we know, but it is an ordinary, unimportant and weak being. To reinforce this image, he calls death “poor death” in order to weaken it, show it as impotent and irrelevant.
