More from John Donne

  1. The Sestos and Abydos of her breasts Not of two lovers, but two loves the nests.
  2. O my America! my new-found land.
  3. Who ever loves, if he do not propose The right true end of love, he's one that goes To sea for nothing but to make him sick.
  4. Full nakedness! All joys are due to thee, As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, To taste whole joys.
  5. The heavens rejoice in motion, why should I Abjure my so much loved variety.
  6. Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below. O, my America, my Newfoundland My kingdom, safest when with…
  7. No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace, As I have seen in one autumnal face.
  8. I am a little world made cunningly Of elements, and an angelic sprite.
