Sonnet 71, Holy Sonnet and To His Coy Mistress
The three poems I have been studing are Holy Sonnet written by John Donre, Sonnet 71, which is written by William Shakespeare, and To His Coy Mistress, which is written by Andrew Marvel. These poems contain major themes dealing with love, death, and sex. These poems are very different from one another.
John Donre who is the author of Holy Sonnet talks about a young priest who is challenging death and has no worry's because he doesn't fear anything not even life itself. The priest is calling death on as he says "Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so;" John Donre is making the priest sound as If he has lost it. John Donre ends the passage with this quote. "One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and Death, thou shalt die". The holy sonnet is much different from the sonnet 71.
