Holy Sonnet 10

• Mocking Death: "Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me."
• The Conditions of Death: "Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

  And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,"
• Ending: "One short sleep past, we wake eternally

  And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."
