ON JOHN DONNE'S BOOK OF POEMS

I see in his last preached and printed Booke,

His Picture in a sheet. In Pauls I looke,

And see his Statue in a sheete of stone,

And sure his body in the grave hath one.

Those sheetes present him dead; these, if you buy,

You have him living to Eternity.

John Marriot
