Poems of John Donne/Volume 1/Hexastichon ad Bibliopolam
Hexastichon ad Bibliopolam.
Incerti.[1]
In thy impression of Donne’s poems rare,
For his eternity thou hast ta’en care:
’Twas well, and pious; and for ever may
He live; yet show I thee a better way;
Print but his sermons, and if those we buy,
He, we, and thou shall live t’ eternity.
For his eternity thou hast ta’en care:
’Twas well, and pious; and for ever may
He live; yet show I thee a better way;
Print but his sermons, and if those we buy,
He, we, and thou shall live t’ eternity.
