The Cononization written by John donne
The Canonization
- John Donne
Text
For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love,
Or childe my palsy, aur my gout
My five grey haires, or ruin'd fortunate flout.
With wealth your state, your minde with Arts improve,
Take you a course, get you a place,
Observe his honour, or his grace,
Or the kings recall, or his stamed face
Contemplate; what you will approve
So you will let me love.
Alas, alas, who's injur'd by my love?
What merchants ships have my sighs drawn'd?
Who says my tears have overflow'd his ground?
When did coldd a forward spring remove?
When did the heats which my veines fill
Adde one man to the plaguie Bell?
Soldiers finde warres, and Lawyers finde out still
Litigious men, which quarrels move,
Though she and I do love.
Call us what you will, We' are made such by love;
Call her one, mee another flye
We' are Tapers too, and our owne cost die,
And wee in us finde the' Eagle and the Dove;
The phoenix ridle hath more wit
By us, wee two being one, are it.
So, to one neutrall thing both sexes fit.
Wee dye and rise the same, and Prove
Mysterious by this love.
We can die by it, if not live by love,
And if unfit for tomb or hearse
Our legend be, it will be fit for verse;
And if no piece of chronicle we prove,
We'll build in Sonnets pretty rooms;
As well a well-wrought urn become
The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs,
And by these hymns, all shall approve
Us canonized for love;
And thus invoke us: ''you, whom reverend love
Made one another's hermitage;
You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage;
Who did the whole world's soul contract, and drove
Into the glasses of your eyes
(So made such mirrors, and such spies
That they did all to you epitomize)
Countries, towns, courts: beg from a above
A pattern of your love!"

Give the central idea of the donate turns the canonization.
The Canonization by John donne was written in 1590 and first published in 1633 in the first edition of Sonnet and songs.
The poets friend is a worldly man and advices donne to take interest in worldly activities of earning. The friend warns donne to take care of his health. The poet requested to the friend not to remind him of his physical weakness.The poet has no interest in worldly gains. Love as transformaid the identity of the poet and his beloved. They may be called flies as well as candles.
In love they live for each other and are ready to die for each other. They are there on preserver as well as destroyer in other words the eagle and the dove together. If the world does not allow them to live in love they would willingly die. There will be no reference of their love in the book of history. But there names will appear in songs of love. Their reference in a Love song is better than the urn preserved in a monument built in half an acre to make a person immoral. As saints of love the poet and his beloved would be immoralized.
