John Donne - Holy Sonnet XVI: Father

John Donne - Holy Sonnet XVI: Father

Father, part of his double interest br Unto thy kingdom, thy Son gives to me, br His jointure in the knotty Trinity br He keeps, and gives to me his deaths conquest. br This Lamb, whose death, with life the world hath blest, br Was from the worlds beginning slain, and he br Hath made two Wills, which with the Legacy br Of his and thy kingdom, doe thy Sons invest. br Yet such are thy laws, that men argue yet br Whether a man those statutes can fulfill; br None doth; but all-healing grace and spirit br Revive again what law and letter kill.
