What does humor mean as used in this passage A cold and drowsy for no pulse shall keep his native progress?

The passage you provided doesn't contain any humor. It's a rather cryptic and possibly poetic statement, but it lacks the elements that would make it humorous.

Here's why:

* Lack of incongruity: Humor often arises from unexpected juxtapositions or contradictions. The passage, while odd, doesn't present any clash of ideas or situations that would be considered funny.

* Absence of comedic devices: There are no obvious uses of puns, satire, irony, or exaggeration, which are common tools of humor.

* Serious tone: The passage's wording, particularly the use of "cold and drowsy," suggests a somber or even tragic tone rather than a humorous one.

It's possible that the passage is meant to be interpreted in a metaphorical way, but without further context, it's difficult to say whether it's intended to be funny or not.

If you could provide more information about the source of this passage or its surrounding text, I might be able to offer a more definitive answer about the presence or absence of humor.
