Father, part of his double interest <br />Unto thy kingdome, thy Sonne gives to mee, <br />His joynture in the knottie Trinitie <br />Hee keepes, and gives to me his deaths conquest. <br />This Lambe, whose death, with life the world hath blest, <br />Was from the worlds beginning slaine, and he <br />Hath made two Wills, which with the Legacie <br />Of his and thy kingdome, doe thy Sonnes invest. <br />Yet such are thy laws, that men argue yet <br />Whether a man those statutes can fulfill; <br />None doth; but all-healing grace and spirit <br />Revive againe what law and letter kill. <br />Thy lawes abridgement, and thy last command <br />Is all but love; Oh let this last Will stand!<br /><br />John Donne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/holy-sonnet-xvi-father/
