Drag each tile to the correct box . match the lines from John Donne's poems with their meanings.

Tiles : if they be two, they are two so as stiffe twin compasses are two , thy soule the fix foot , makes no show to move , but doth, if th'other doe.
(from "A Valedictorian: Forbidding Mourning ")

And sacrilege, three sons in killing three . Cruel and Sudden , hast thou since purpled thy nail in blood of innocence where in could this flea guilty be. except in that drop which it sucked from thee? yet thou triumph'st and say'st that thou find'st not thyself nor me the weaker now ;
(from "The flea")

Death, be not proud , though some have called thee mighty and dreadful , for thou art not so : for those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me. (from Sonnet 10)

she is all states , and all princes I, nothing else is. princes do but play us : compared to this , all honor's mimic , all wealth alchemy. (From "The Sun Rising")

Pairs : The speaker personifies and diminishes the power of death

the beloved is like the entire world to the lover

the lover and his beloved are described as separate but connected , like a drawing tool.

The speaker chides his beloved for killing the flea
