“Though Christ a thousand times
in Bethleham be born
And not within thyself,
Thy soul will be forlorn”
The Cherubinic Wanderer
“Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,”
No. 10, line 1
Holy Sonnets (1633)
Context: Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
