DEATH BE NOT PROUD
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 . . .
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die. John Donne, Holy Sonnets, Number 10.
