John Donne (1572–1631). The Poems of John Donne. 1896.

Hexastichon ad Bibliopolam

Incerti

IN thy impression of Donne’s poems rare,

For his eternity thou hast ta’en care:

’Twas well, and pious; and for ever may

He live; yet show I thee a better way;

Print but his sermons, and if those we buy,

He, we, and thou shall live t’ eternity.
