John Donne (1572-1631)Holy Sonnets Batter
my heart, three-person'd God             
1 Batter my heart, three-person'd God, for you 
            2 As yet but knock, breathe, shine,
and seek to mend              3 That I may rise
and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend             
4 Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me
new.              5 I, like an usurp'd town
to'another due,              6 Labor to'admit
you, but oh, to no end              7 Reason,
your viceroy in me, me should defend,           
  8 But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue. 
            9 Yet dearly'I love you, and would be
lov'd fain,            10 But am betroth'd unto
your enemy            11 Divorce me,'untie or
break that knot again,            12 Take me to
you, imprison me, for I,            13 Except
you'enthrall me, never shall be free,           
14 Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
