Could people please give me thoughts, ideas, context, notes etc on the following poem by John Donne
[SIZE=+1]74.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]"Batter my heart, three person'd God; for, you"[/SIZE]
B[SIZE=-1]ATTER[/SIZE] my heart, three person'd God; for, you[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee,'and bend[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new.[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
I, like an usurpt towne, to'another due,[SIZE=-2] 5[/SIZE]
Labour to'admit you, but Oh, to no end,[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Reason your viceroy in mee, mee should defend,[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
But is captiv'd, and proves weake or untrue.[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Yet dearely'I love you,'and would be loved faine,[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
But am betroth'd unto your enemie:[SIZE=-2] 10[/SIZE]
Divorce mee,'untie, or breake that knot againe;[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Take mee to you, imprison mee, for I[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Except you'enthrall mee, never shall be free,[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]
Nor ever chast, except you ravish mee.
