THE LITANY: 27, by JOHN DONNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: That learning, thine ambassador
Last Line: Heare us, weake ecchoes, o thou eare, and cry.
First Line: That learning, thine ambassador
Last Line: Heare us, weake ecchoes, o thou eare, and cry.
That learning, thine Ambassador,
From thine allegeance wee never tempt,
That beauty, paradises flower
For physicke made, from poyson be exempt,
That wit, borne apt high good to doe,
By dwelling lazily
On Natures nothing, be not nothing too,
That our affections kill us not, nor dye,
Heare us, weake ecchoes, O thou eare, and cry.
