More From John Donne

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)
Sweet Tree Fool
Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the giver and bound to catch the spirit of the giver. like produces like. grace makes you gracious, the giver makes you give.
Giving Forever Grace
You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.
Powerful Mean Hearing
Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. love gives all for all, resting in one who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the giver of all good gifts. love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.
Running Giving Joy
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Riches are the pettiest and least worthy gifts which god can give a man. what are they to god's word, to bodily gifts, such as beauty and health; or to the gifts of the mind, such as understanding, skill, wisdom! yet men toil for them day and night, and take no rest. therefore god commonly gives riches to foolish people to whom he gives nothing else.
