John donne holy sonnet X
Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou thinkst, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me;
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war and sickness dwell,
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more, Death thou shalt die.
Describe, in your own words, Donne's opening proposition (lines 1-2).
How is Death deceived in lines 3 and 4?
Rest and sleep are pleasant for men; how does Donne use this argument to make Death seem pleasant?
How do you interpret "soonest our best men" in line 7?
What bad company is Death forced to keep? Why?
Which sedatives are better than Death?
What is Donne's elegant final paradox, linking the ideas of Death and Eternal Life?
What elements in the poem give it its surprising force? Think about rhythm and imagery.
