One of this author's poems says, "Our hands were firmly cemented / By a fast balm", while another asks, "Alas! Alas! who's injured by my love?" and begins, "For God's sake hold your tongue". In addition to "The Ecstasy" and "The Canonization", he tells the title character to "Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again" in "Batter my heart, three-person'd God". His collections include one of essays, Meditations, and one of poetry which calls the title character a "slave to Fate" and says that, after "One short sleep past", "thou shalt die". For 10 points, name this author of "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" and a set of 19 Holy Sonnets, including "Death, be not proud".
