Holy Sonnets: Death, be not proud – Poetry Foundation
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.
John Donne
The English writer and Anglican cleric John Donne is considered now to be the preeminent metaphysical poet of his time. He was born in 1572 to Roman Catholic parents, when practicing that religion was illegal in England. His work is distinguished by its emotional and sonic intensity and its capacity to plumb the paradoxes of faith, human and divine love, and the possibility of salvation.

Death Be Not Proud Full Text – Text of the Poem – Owl Eyes
A caesura is a pause within a line of poetry, typically in the form of punctuation such as a period (.), comma (,), em dash (—), or ellipses (…). In this context, dividing the phrases Mighty and dreadful and for thou art not so with a comma calls attention to the speaker’s purpose: challenging the notion that death is powerful and terrible.
