← All quotes by John Donne

2 quotes

All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance, hath slain.

Poems (1633)

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
