The Poems of John Donne, Volume 2 (of 2)

Note 16 — POEMS

Reading edition

This is not the only manuscript in which this poem appears among the Elegies following immediately on that entitled The Picture, 'Here take my picture, though I bid farewell.' It is thus placed in 1633. The adhesion of two poems in a number of otherwise distinct manuscripts may mean, I think, that they were written about the same time.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
