The Holy Sonnets of John Donne, Op. 35: Sonnet X: Death, be not proud

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for thou art not soe,
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor 1 kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure;
then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do goe,
Rest of their bones, and souls deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sickness dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well
And better than thy stroake;
why swell’st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more;
Death, thou shalt die.
