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

by John Donne

Wilt thou forgive those sinns through w^ch I runn

And doe them still, though still I doe deplore?

5When thou hast done, thou hast not done,

for I have more.

Wilt thou forgive that sinn, by w^ch I'have wonne

Others to sinn, & made my sinn their dore?

Wilt thou forgive that sinn w^ch I did shunne

10A yeare or twoe, but wallowed in a score?

When thou hast done, thou hast not done,

for I have more.
