This is my playes last scene, here heavens appoint
My pilgrimages last mile; and my race
Idly, yet quickly runne, hath this last pace,
My spans last inch, my minutes last point,
And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoynt
My body, and soule, and I shall sleepe a space,

And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoynt
My body, and soule, and I shall sleepe a space,
John Donne (1572–1631), British poet. This is my playes last scene (Holy Sonnets) (l. 1–6). . .
