“ Feel what distemperature this chance hath bred. The chaste embracements of conjugal love, Who in a mutual harmony consent, Are so impatient of a strange remove As meager death itself seems to lament, And weep upon those cheeks which nature fram'd To be delightful orbs in whom the force Of lively sweetness plays, so that asham'd Death often pities his unkind divorce. ”
John Donne

Quotes from A Funeral Elegy (John Donne)
“ As in the rancor of unhappy spleen Measure thy course of life, with false pretenses Comparing by thy death what thou hast been. So in his mischiefs is the world accurs'd: It picks out matter to inform the worst. ”
“ Never untrue, where once he love profess'd; Which is a miracle in men, one saith, Long sought though rarely found, and he is best Who can make friendship, in those times of change, Admired more for being firm than strange. ”
