Poem by John Donne

Fall of a Wall

Under an undermined and shot-bruised wall
A too-bold captain perish'd by the fall,
Whose brave misfortune happiest men envied,
That had a town for tomb, his bones to hide. 

1. Holy Sonnet 9. If poisonous minerals, and if that tree
2. Holy Sonnet 15. Wilt thou love God as he thee? then digest
3. Love's Diet
4. Holy Sonnet 8. If faithful souls be alike glorified
5. Holy Sonnet 12. Why are we by all creatures waited on?
