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

by John Donne

OF
THE PROGRESSE
OF THE SOULE.

[Note (Supp.)]

The second Anniversarie.

The entrance.[¹]

NOTHING could make me sooner to confesse

That this world had an everlastingnesse,

Then to consider, that a yeare is runne,

Since both this lower world's, and the Sunnes Sunne,

5The Lustre, and the vigor of this All,

Did set; 'twere blasphemie to say, did fall.
