shes all states； and all princes i ；
nothing else is ；
princes do but play us ； pared to this；
all honours mimic； all wealth alchemy。
thou； sun； art half as happy as we；
in that the worlds contracted thus ；
thine age asks ease； and since thy duties be
to warm the world； thats done in warming us。
shine here to us； and thou art everywhere ；
this bed thy center is； these walls thy sphere。
the indifferent。
i can love both fair and brown ；
her whom abundance melts； and her whom want betrays ；
her who loves loneness best； and her who masks and plays ；
her whom the country formd； and whom the town ；
her who believes； and her who tries ；
her who still weeps with spongy eyes；
and her who is dry cork； and never cries。
i can love her； and her； and you； and you ；
i can love any； so she be not true。
will no other vice content you ？
will it not serve your turn to do as did your mothers ？
or have you all old vices spent； and now would find out others ？
or doth a fear that men are true torment you ？
o we are not； be not you so ；
let me—and do you—twenty know ；
rob me； but bind me not； and let me go。
must i； who came to travel thorough you；
grow your fixd subject； because you are true ？
venus heard me sigh this song ；
and by loves sweetest part； variety； she swore；
she heard not this till now ； and that it should be so no more。
she went； examined； and returnd ere long；
and said； 〃alas ！ some two or three
poor heretics in love there be；
which think to stablish dangerous constancy。
but i have told them； since you will be true；
you shall be true to them whore false to you。 〃

John Donne Selected Poems…3

loves usury。
for every hour that thou wilt spare me now；
i will allow；
usurious god of love； twenty to thee；
when with my brown my gray hairs equal be。
till then； love； let my body range； and let
me travel； sojourn； snatch； plot； have； forget；
resume my last years relict ； think that yet
wed never met。
let me think any rivals letter mine；
and at next nine
keep midnights promise ； mistake by the way
the maid； and tell the lady of that delay ；
only let me love none ； no； not the sport
from country grass to confitures of court；
or citys quelque…choses ； let not report
my mind transport。
this bargains good ； if when im old； i be
inflamed by thee；
if thine own honour； or my shame and pain；
thou covet most； at that age thou shalt gain。
do thy will then ； then subject and degree
and fruit of love； love； i submit to thee。
spare me till then ； ill bear it； though she be
one that love me。
the canonization。
for gods sake hold your tongue； and let me love ；
or chide my palsy； or my gout ；
my five gray hairs； or ruind fortune flout ；
with wealth your state； your mind with arts improve ；
take you a course； get you a place；
observe his honour； or his grace ；
or the kings real； or his stampd face
contemplate ； what you will； approve；
so you will let me love。
alas ！ alas ！ whos injured by my love？
what merchants ships have my sighs drownd？
who says my tears have overflowd his ground？
when did my colds a forward spring remove？
when did the heats which my veins fill
add one more to the plaguy bill？
soldiers find wars； and lawyers find out still
litigious men； which quarrels move；
though she and i do love。
calls what you will； we are made such by love ；
call her one； me another fly；
were tapers too； and at our own cost die；
and we in us find th eagle and the dove。
the phoenix riddle hath more wit
by us ； we two being one； are it ；
so； to one neutral thing both sexes fit。
we die and rise the same； and prove
mysterious by this love。
we can die by it； if not live by love；
and if unfit for tomb or hearse
our legend be； it will be fit for verse ；
and if no piece of chronicle we prove；
well build in sonnets pretty rooms ；
as well a well…wrought urn bees
the greatest ashes； as half…acre tombs；
and by these hymns； all shall approve
us canonized for love ；
and thus invoke us； 〃you； whom reverend love
made one anothers hermitage ；
you； to whom love was peace； that now is rage ；
who did the whole worlds soul contract； and drove
into the glasses of your eyes ；
so made such mirrors； and such spies；
that they did all to you epitomize—
countries； towns； courts beg from above
a pattern of your love。〃
the triple fool。
i am two fools； i know；
for loving； and for saying so
in whining poetry ；
but wheres that wise man； that would not be i；
if she would not deny ？
then as th earths inward narrow crooked lanes
do purge sea waters fretful salt away；
i thought； if i could draw my pains
through rhymes vexation； i should them allay。
grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce；
for he tames it； that fetters it in verse。
but when i have done so；
some man； his art and voice to show；
doth set and sing my pain ；
and； by delighting many； frees again
grief； which verse did restrain。
to love and grief tribute of verse belongs；
but not of such as pleases when tis read。
both are increasèd by such songs；
for both their triumphs so are published；
and i； which was two fools； do so grow three。
who are a little wise； the best fools be。
lovers infiniteness。
if yet i have not all thy love；
dear； i shall never have it all ；
i cannot breathe one other sigh； to move；
nor can intreat one other tear to fall ；
and all my treasure； which should purchase thee；
sighs； tears； and oaths； and letters i have spent ；
yet no more can be due to me；
than at the bargain made was meant。
if then thy gift of love were partial；
that some to me； some should to others fall；
dear； i shall never have thee all。
or if then thou gavest me all；
all was but all； which thou hadst then ；
but if in thy heart since there be or shall
new love created be by other men；
which have their stocks entire； and can in tears；
in sighs； in oaths； and letters； outbid me；
this new love may beget new fears；
for this love was not vowd by thee。
and yet it was； thy gift being general ；
the ground； thy heart； is mine ； what ever shall
grow there； dear； i should have it all。
yet i would not have all yet。
he that hath all can have no more ；
and since my love doth every day admit
new growth； thou shouldst have new rewards in store ；
thou canst not every day give me thy heart；
if thou canst give it； then thou never gavest it ；
loves riddles are； that though thy heart depart；
it stays at home； and thou with losing savest it ；
but we will have a way more liberal；
than changing hearts； to join them ； so we shall
be one； and one anothers all。
song。
sweetest love； i do not go；
for weariness of thee；
nor in hope the world can show
a fitter love for me ；
but since that i
at the last must part； tis best；
thus to use myself in jest
by feigned deaths to die。
yesternight the sun went hence；
an
