This poet claims that it is a braver thing than all the Worthies did to keep love of a woman's virtue hid in the poem "The Undertaking."
This poet claims that it is a braver thing than all the Worthies did to keep love of a woman's virtue hid in the poem "The Undertaking." Several years before releasing the anti-Catholic polemic Ignatius his Conclave, he wrote a collection including "Batter my heart, three-person'd God." One of his poems compares sex to the mingling of two lovers' blood in a flea. He says it would profane his love to weep in "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning," while another poem tells the title concept it is slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, and shall die. For 10 points, name this English metaphysical poet of Holy Sonnet X, "Death, be not proud."
