John Donne Selected Poems…1


a valediction forbidding mourning。

as virtuous men pass mildly away; 

and whisper to their souls to go; 

whilst some of their sad friends do say;

〃now his breath goes;〃 and some say; 〃no。〃

so let us melt; and make no noise; 

no tear…floods; nor sigh…tempests move ;

twere profanation of our joys 

to tell the laity our love。 

moving of th earth brings harms and fears ;

men reckon what it did; and meant ;

but trepidation of the spheres; 

though greater far; is innocent。 

dull sublunary lovers love 

—whose soul is sense—cannot admit 

of absence; cause it doth remove 

the thing which elemented it。 

but we by a love so much refined;

that ourselves know not what it is; 

inter…assur鑔 of the mind; 

care less; eyes; lips and hands to miss。 

our two souls therefore; which are one; 

though i must go; endure not yet 

a breach; but an expansion; 

like gold to aery thinness beat。 

if they be two; they are two so 

as stiff twin passes are two ; 

thy soul; the fixd foot; makes no show 

to move; but doth; if th other do。 

and though it in the centre sit; 

yet; when the other far doth roam;

it leans; and hearkens after it; 

and grows erect; as that es home。 

such wilt thou be to me; who must;

like th other foot; obliquely run ;

thy firmness makes my circle just; 

and makes me end where i begun。

John Donne Selected Poems…2

 生?
the flea。

mark but this flea; and mark in this;

how little that which thou deniest me is ;

it suckd me first; and now sucks thee; 

and in this flea our two bloods mingled be。

thou knowst that this cannot be said

a sin; nor shame; nor loss of maidenhead ;

yet this enjoys before it woo;

and pamperd swells with one blood made of two ;

and this; alas ! is more than we would do。

o stay; three lives in one flea spare;

where we almost; yea; more than married are。

this flea is you and i; and this

our marriage bed; and marriage temple is。

though parents grudge; and you; were met;

and cloisterd in these living walls of jet。

though use make you apt to kill me;

let not to that self…murder added be;

and sacrilege; three sins in killing three。

cruel and sudden; hast thou since

purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?

wherein could this flea guilty be;

except in that drop which it suckd from thee?

yet thou triumphst; and sayst that thou

findst not thyself nor me the weaker now。

tis true ; then learn how false fears be ;

just so much honour; when thou yieldst to me;

will waste; as this fleas death took life from thee。

the good…morrow。

i wonder by my troth; what thou and i

did; till we loved ? were we not weand till then ? 

but suckd on country pleasures; childishly ? 

or snorted we in the seven sleepers den ?

twas so ; but this; all pleasures fancies be ;

if ever any beauty i did see; 

which i desired; and got; twas but a dream of thee。

and now good…morrow to our waking souls; 

which watch not one another out of fear ;

for love all love of other sights controls;

and makes one little room an everywhere。

let sea…discoverers to new worlds have gone ;

let maps to other; worlds on worlds have shown ;

let us possess one world ; each hath one; and is one。 

my face in thine eye; thine in mine appears; 

and true plain hearts do in the faces rest ;

where can we find two better hemispheres 

without sharp north; without declining west ?

whatever dies; was not mixd equally ;

if our two loves be one; or thou and i 

love so alike that none can slacken; none can die。

song。

go and catch a falling star;

get with child a mandrake root;

tell me where all past years are;

or who cleft the devils foot;

teach me to hear mermaids singing;

or to keep off envys stinging;

and find

what wind

serves to advance an honest mind。 

if thou best born to strange sights;

things invisible to see;

ride ten thousand days and nights;

till age snow white hairs on thee;

thou; when thou returnst; wilt tell me;

all strange wonders that befell thee;

and swear;

no where

lives a woman true and fair。 

if thou findst one; let me know;

such a pilgrimage were sweet;

yet do not; i would not go;

though at next door we might meet;

though she were true; when you met her;

and last; till you write your letter;

yet she

will be

false; ere i e; to two; or three。 

womans constancy。

now thou hast loved me one whole day;

to…morrow when thou leavest; what wilt thou say ?

wilt thou then antedate some new…made vow ?

or say that now

we are not just those persons which we were ?

or that oaths made in reverential fear

of love; and his wrath; any may forswear ?

or; as true deaths true marriages untie;

so lovers contracts; images of those;

bind but till sleep; deaths image; them unloose ?

or; your own end to justify;

for having purposed change and falsehood; you

can have no way but falsehood to be true ?

vain lunatic; against these scapes i could

dispute; and conquer; if i would ;

which i abstain to do;

for by to…morrow i may think so too。

the undertaking。

i have done one braver thing

than all the worthies did ; 

and yet a braver thence doth spring; 

which is; to keep that hid。

it were but madness now to impart 

the skill of specular stone; 

when he; which can have learnd the art 

to cut it; can find none。

so; if i now should utter this; 

others—because no more 

such stuff to work upon; there is—

would love but as before。

but he who loveliness within 

hath found; all outward loathes; 

for he who color loves; and skin; 

loves but their oldest clothes。

if; as i have; you also do 

virtue in woman see;

and dare love that; and say so too; 

and forget the he and she ;

and if this love; though plac鑔 so; 

from profane men you hide; 

which will no faith on this bestow; 

or; if they do; deride ;

then you have done a braver thing 

than all the worthies did ; 

and a braver thence will spring; 

which is; to keep that hid。

the sun rising。

busy old fool; unruly sun; 

why dost thou thus;

through windows; and through curtains; call on us ? 

must to thy motions lovers seasons run ? 

saucy pedantic wretch; go chide 

late school…boys and sour prentices; 

go tell court…huntsmen that the king will ride; 

call country ants to harvest offices ;

love; all alike; no season knows nor clime; 

nor hours; days; months; which are the rags of time。 

thy beams so reverend; and strong 

why shouldst thou think ? 

i could eclipse and cloud them with a wink; 

but that i would not lose her sight so long。 

if her eyes have not blinded thine; 

look; and to…morrow late tell me; 

whether both th indias of spice and mine 

be where thou leftst them; or lie here with me。 

ask for those kings whom thou sawst yesterday; 

and thou shalt hear; 〃all here in one bed lay。〃 

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。 〃

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。
