Holy Sonnet 10( by John Donne)

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty ang dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,                                      Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, anddesperate men, And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?  One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shall die.
