: : : Please I need an ysis of the content of this poem. I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me with it.

: : : Holy Sonnets: X
: : : 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 rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
: : : Much pleasure: then from thee much more must flow,
: : : And soonest our best men with thee do go,
: : : Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
: : : Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
: : : And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
: : : And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
: : : And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
: : : One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
: : : And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
