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

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 in her angelic finds；
would swear as justly； that he hears；
in that days rude hoarse minstrelsy； the spheres。
hope not for mind in women ； at their best；
sweetness and wit they are； but mummy； possessd。
the curse。
whoever guesses； thinks； or dreams； he knows
who is my mistress； wither by this curse ；
him； only for his purse
may some dull whore to love dispose；
and then yield unto all that are his foes ；
may he be scornd by one； whom all else scorn；
forswear to others； what to her he hath sworn；
with fear of missing； shame of getting； torn。
madness his sorrow； gout his cramps； may he
make； by but thinking who hath made him such ；
and may he feel no touch
of conscience； but of fame； and be
anguishd； not that twas sin； but that twas she ；
or may he for her virtue reverence
one that hates him only for impotence；
and equal traitors be she and his sense。
may he dream treason； and believe that he
meant to perform it； and confesses； and die；
and no record tell why ；
his sons； which none of his may be；
inherit nothing but his infamy ；
or may he so long parasites have fed；
that he would fain be theirs whom he hath bred；
and at the last be circumcised for bread。
the venom of all stepdames； gamesters gall；
what tyrants and their subjects interwish；
what plants； mine； beasts； fowl； fish；
can contribute； all ill； which all
prophets or poets spake； and all which shall
be annexd in schedules unto this by me；
fall on that man ； for if it be a she
nature beforehand hath out…cursèd me。
the message。
send home my long strayd eyes to me；
which； o ！ too long have dwelt on thee ；
yet since there they have learnd such ill；
such forced fashions；
and false passions；
that they be
made by thee
fit for no good sight； keep them still。
send home my harmless heart again；
which no unworthy thought could stain ；
which if it be taught by thine
to make jestings
of protestings；
and break both
word and oath；
keep it； for then tis none of mine。
yet send me back my heart and eyes；
that i may know； and see thy lies；
and may laugh and joy； when thou
art in anguish
and dost languish
for some one
that will none；
or prove as false as thou art now。
a nocturnal upon st。 lucys day；
being the shortest day。
tis the years midnight； and it is the days；
lucys； who scarce seven hours herself unmasks ；
the sun is spent； and now his flasks
send forth light squibs； no constant rays ；
the worlds whole sap is sunk ；
the general balm th hydroptic earth hath drunk；
whither； as to the beds…feet； life is shrunk；
dead and interrd ； yet all these seem to laugh；
pared with me； who am their epitaph。
study me then； you who shall lovers be
at the next world； that is； at the next spring ；
for i am every dead thing；
in whom love wrought new alchemy。
for his art did express
a quintessence even from nothingness；
from dull privations； and lean emptiness ；
he ruind me； and i am re…begot
of absence； darkness； death—things which are not。
all others； from all things； draw all thats good；
life； soul； form； spirit； whence they being have ；
i； by loves limbec； am the grave
of all； thats nothing。 oft a flood
have we two wept； and so
drownd the whole world； us two ； oft did we grow；
to be two chaoses； when we did show
care to aught else ； and often absences
withdrew our souls； and made us carcasses。
but i am by her death—which word wrongs her—
of the first nothing the elixir grown ；
were i a man； that i were one
i needs must know ； i should prefer；
if i were any beast；
some ends； some means ； yea plants； yea stones detest；
and love ； all； all some properties invest。
if i an ordinary nothing were；
as shadow； a light； and body must be here。
but i am none ； nor will my sun renew。
you lovers； for whose sake the lesser sun
at this time to the goat is run
to fetch new lust； and give it you；
enjoy your summer all；
since she enjoys her long nights festival。
let me prepare towards her； and let me call
this hour her vigil； and her eve； since this
both the years and the days deep midnight is。
witchcraft by a picture。
i fix mine eye on thine； and there
pity my picture burning in thine eye ；
my picture drownd in a transparent tear；
when i look lower i espy ；
hadst thou the wicked skill
by pictures made and marrd； to kill；
how many ways mightst thou perform thy will？
but now ive drunk thy sweet salt tears；
and though thou pour more； ill depart ；
my picture vanished； vanish all fears
that i can be endamaged by that art ；
though thou retain of me
one picture more； yet that will be；
being in thine own heart； from all malice free。
the bait。
e live with me； and be my love；
and we will some new pleasures prove
of golden sands； and crystal brooks；
with silken lines and silver h
