Answer:

"let us sport us while we may"

"at once our time devour"

Explanation:

These are the statements that are most compatible with a <em>carpe diem</em> perspective. <em>Carpe diem</em> is the idea of seizing the day. It refers to an attitude that supports the idea of enjoying life while you can, without worries, and without concern about the future. In these lines, the author states that they will have fun while they can, and that they will devour their time, which are compatible ideas with this philosophy.
