and when he hath the kernel eat；
who doth not fling away the shell？
loves growth。
i scarce believe my love to be so pure
as i had thought it was；
because it doth endure
vicissitude； and season； as the grass ；
methinks i lied all winter； when i swore
my love was infinite； if spring make it more。
but if this medicine； love； which cures all sorrow
with more； not only be no quintessence；
but mixd of all stuffs； vexing soul； or sense；
and of the sun his active vigour borrow；
love抯 not so pure； and abstract as they use
to say； which have no mistress but their muse ；
but as all else； being elemented too；
love sometimes would contemplate； sometimes do。
and yet no greater； but more eminent；
love by the spring is grown ；
as in the firmament
stars by the sun are not enlarged； but shown；
gentle love deeds； as blossoms on a bough；
from loves awakened root do bud out now。
if； as in water stirrd more circles be
produced by one； love such additions take；
those like so many spheres but one heaven make；
for they are all concentric unto thee ；
and though each spring do add to love new heat；
as princes do in times of action get
new taxes； and remit them not in peace；
no winter shall abate this spring抯 increase。
loves exchange。
love； any devil else but you
would for a given soul give something too。
at court your fellows every day
give th art of rhyming； huntsmanship； or play；
for them which were their own before ；
only i have nothing； which gave more；
but am； alas ！ by being lowly； lower。
i ask no dispensation now；
to falsify a tear； or sigh； or vow ；
i do not sue from thee to draw
a non obstante on natures law ；
these are prerogatives； they inhere
in thee and thine ； none should forswear
except that he loves minion were。
give me thy weakness； make me blind；
both ways； as thou and thine； in eyes and mind ；
love； let me never know that this
is love； or； that love childish is ；
let me not know that others know
that she knows my paines； lest that so
a tender shame make me mine own new woe。
if thou give nothing； yet thou rt just；
because i would not thy first motions trust ；
small towns which stand stiff； till great shot
enforce them； by wars law condition not ；
such in loves warfare is my case ；
i may not article for grace；
having put love at last to show this face。
this face； by which he could mand
and change th idolatry of any land；
this face； which； wheresoeer it es；
can call vowd men from cloisters； dead from tombs；
and melt both poles at once； and store
deserts with cities； and make more
mines in the earth； than quarries were before。
for this love is enraged with me；
yet kills not ； if i must example be
to future rebels； if th unborn
must learn by my being cut up and torn；
kill； and dissect me； love ； for this
torture against thine own end is ；
rackd carcasses make ill anatomies。
confined love。
some man unworthy to be possessor
of old or new love； himself being false or weak；
thought his pain and shame would be lesser；
if on womankind he might his anger wreak ；
and thence a law did grow；
one might but one man know ；
but are other creatures so？
are sun； moon； or stars by law forbidden
to smile where they list； or lend away their light？
are birds divorced or are they chidden
if they leave their mate； or lie abroad a night？
beasts do no jointures lose
though they new lovers choose ；
but we are made worse than those。
who eer riggd fair ships to lie in harbours；
and not to seek lands； or not to deal with all？
or built fair houses； set trees； and arbours；
only to lock up； or else to let them fall？
good is not good； unless
a thousand it possess；
but doth waste with greediness。
the dream。
dear love； for nothing less than thee
would i have broke this happy dream ；
it was a theme
for reason； much too strong for fantasy。
therefore thou wakedst me wisely ； yet
my dream thou brokest not； but continuedst it。
thou art so true that thoughts of thee suffice
to make dreams truths； and fables histories ；
enter these arms； for since thou thoughtst it best；
not to dream all my dream； lets act the rest。
as lightning； or a tapers light；
thine eyes； and not thy noise waked me ；
yet i thought thee
—for thou lovest truth—an angel； at first sight ；
but when i saw thou sawst my heart；
and knewst my thoughts beyond an angels art；
when thou knewst what i dreamt； when thou knewst when
excess of joy would wake me； and camest then；
i must confess； it could not choose but be
profane； to think thee any thing but thee。
ing and staying showd thee； thee；
but rising makes me doubt； that now
thou art not thou。
that love is weak where fears as strong as he ；
tis not all spirit； pure and brave；
if mixture it of fear； shame； honour have ；
perchance as torches； which must ready be；
men light and put out； so thou dealst with me ；
thou camest to kindle； gost to e ； then i
will dream that hope again； but else would die。

John Donne Selected Poems…6
（小//说；网/
a valediction of weeping。
let me pour forth
my tears before thy face； whilst i stay here；
for thy face coins them； and thy stamp they bear；
and by this mintage they are something worth。
for thus they be
pregnant of thee ；
fruits of much grief they are； emblems of more ；
when a tear falls； that thou fallst which it bore ；
so thou and i are nothing then； when on a divers shore。
on a round ball
a workman； that hath copies by； can lay
an europe； afric； and an asia；
and quickly make that； which was nothing； all。
so doth each tear；
which thee doth wear；
a globe； yea world； by that impression grow；
till thy tears mixd with mine do overflow
this world； by waters sent from thee； my heaven dissolvèd so。
o ！ more than moon；
draw not up seas to drown me in thy sphere ；
weep me not dead； in thine arms； but forbear
to teach the sea； what it may do too soon ；
let not the wind
example find
to do me more harm than it purposeth ：
since thou and i sigh one anothers breath；
whoeer sighs most is cruellest； and hastes the others death。
loves alchemy。
some that have deeper diggd loves mine than i；
say； where his centric happiness doth lie。
i have loved； and got； and told；
but should i love； get； tell； till i were old；
i should not find that hidden mystery。
o ！ tis imposture all ；
and as no chemic yet th elixir got；
but glorifies his pregnant pot；
if by the way to him befall
some odoriferous thing； or medicinal；
so； lovers dream a rich and long delight；
but get a winter…seeming summers night。
our ease； our thrift； our honour； and our day；
shall we for this vain bubbles shadow pay？
ends love in this； that my man
can be as happy as i can； if he can
endure the short scorn of a bridegrooms play？
that loving wretch that swears；
tis not the bodies marry； but the minds；
which he
