I F poysonous mineralls, and if that tree, 

Whose fruit threw death on else immortall us, 

If lecherous goats, if serpents envious 

Cannot be damn'd; Alas; why should I bee?

Why should intent or reason, borne in mee,
Make sinnes, else equall, in mee more heinous?
And mercy being easie, and glorious
To God; in his sterne wrath, why threatens hee?
But who am I, that dare dispute with thee
O God? Oh! of thine onely worthy blood,
And my teares, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
And drowne in it my sinnes blacke memorie;
That thou remember them, some claime as debt,
I thinke it mercy, if thou wilt forget.

John Donne, Holy Sonnets IX (1633)
