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 fixt foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other doe.

(from "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning")
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence
Wherein 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.
