John Donne

Summary

Portrait of John Donne John Donne,  The Triple Fool

“ I thought, if I could draw my pains
⁠Through rhyme's vexation, I should them allay.
Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce,
For he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
⁠But when I have done so,
⁠Some man, his art and voice to show,
⁠Doth set and sing my pain
”
