THE LITANY: 20, by JOHN DONNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Through thy submitting all, to blows
Last Line: To this world, ere this world doe bid us goe.
First Line: Through thy submitting all, to blows
Last Line: To this world, ere this world doe bid us goe.
Through thy submitting all, to blowes
Thy face, thy clothes to spoile; thy fame to scorne,
All waies, which rage, or Justice knowes,
And by which thou could'st shew, that thou wast born;
And through thy gallant humblenesse
Which thou in death did'st shew,
Dying before thy soule they could expresse,
Deliver us from death, by dying so,
To this world, ere this world doe bid us goe.
