The Poems of John Donne, Volume 1 (of 2) / Edited from the Old Editions and Numerous Manuscripts

by John Donne

I.

WILT thou forgive that sinne where I begunne,

Which was my sin, though it were done before?

Wilt thou forgive that sinne; through which I runne,

And do run still: though still I do deplore?

5When thou hast done, thou hast not done,

For, I have more.

II.

Wilt thou forgive that sinne which I have wonne

Others to sinne? and, made my sinne their doore?
