THE LITANY: 28 by JOHN DONNE

Poet Analysis

First Line: SON OF GOD HEAR US, AND SINCE THOU
Last Line: AS SINNE IS NOTHING, LET IT NO WHERE BE.
Sonne of God heare us, and since thou
By taking our blood, owest it us againe,
Gaine to thy self, or us allow;
And let not both us and thy selfe be slaine;
O Lambe of God, which took'st our sinne
Which could not stick to thee,
O let it not returne to us againe,
But Patient and Physition being free,
As sinne is nothing, let it no where be.
