John Donne - Holy Sonnet VI: This Is My Playes Last Scene
Work rating: Low

This is my play`s last scene, here heavens appoint 
My pilgrimages last mile; and my race 
Idly, yet quickly run, hath this last pace, 
My spans last inch, my minutes latest point, 
And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoint 
My body, and soul, and I shall sleep a space, 
But my`ever-waking part shall see that face, 
Whose fear already shakes my every joint; 
Then, as my soul, to`heaven her first seat, takes flight, 
And earth-borne body, in the earth shall dwell, 
So, fall my sins, that all may have their right, 
To where they`re bred, and would press me, to hell. 
Impute me righteous, thus purg`d of evil, 
For thus I leave the world, the flesh, the devil.
