Final answer:

The poem “When Thou Must Home to Shakes of Underground” by Thomas Campion does not explicitly mention who greets the new arrival, suggesting a possible mix-up with another poem or an incorrect citation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem “When Thou Must Home to Shakes of Underground” by Thomas Campion does not specifically mention who will greet the new arrival. However, by analyzing the context of the Renaissance to which Campion belonged, it can be inferred that the poem may deal with themes of death and the inevitable greeting by mythological figures or deceased relatives in the afterlife. The question might be confused with Keats' poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn” where the speaker reflects on the figures on an urn and addresses them with questions about their eternal state. Another possibility is that the student is referring to a different work or a line that is paraphrased or incorrectly cited.
