"Oh let this last Will stand!" — John Donne, Holy Sonnet #16

Father, part of his double interest

Unto thy kingdom, thy Son gives to me,

His jointure in the knotty Trinity

He keeps, and gives to me his death's conquest.

This Lamb, whose death with life the world hath blest,

Was from the world's beginning slain, and he

Hath made two Wills which with the Legacy

Of his and thy kingdom do thy Sons invest.

Yet such are thy laws that men argue yet

Whether a man those statutes can fulfil;

None doth; but all-healing grace and spirit

Revive again what law and letter kill.

Thy law's abridgement, and thy last command

Is all but love; Oh let this last Will stand!
