John Donne, Priest and Poet 1573-1631

Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul?
And why are you so disquieted within me? 
Put your trust in God, for I will give thanks to him who is the help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:5-6

We thinke that Paradise and  Calvarie,
Christ’s Crosse, and Adam’s tree, stood in one place;
Looke, Lord, and find both Adams met in me;
As the first Adam’s sweat surrounds my face
May the last Adam’s blood my soul embrace. 
John Donne
