THE LITANY: 24, by JOHN DONNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: That we may change to evenness
Last Line: That we may heare, lord heare us, when wee pray.
First Line: That we may change to evenness
Last Line: That we may heare, lord heare us, when wee pray.
That wee may change to evennesse
This intermitting aguish Pietie;
That snatching cramps of wickednesse
And Apoplexies of fast sin, may die;
That musique of thy promises,
Not threats in Thunder may
Awaken us to our just offices;
What in thy booke, thou dost, or creatures say,
That we may heare, Lord heare us, when wee pray.
