Letter A. "Death, thou shalt die." explains the poem in the briefest yet clearest way possible. Donne says that if the person is a believer, it is death that will die and not the believer. Thus, the saying "Death, you shall die." The physical body of a person dies but after that, he will be reborn spiritually and will live again.

Hope this helps! :)

Question
The words "the sighing trees" in the poem above are an example of _____.
Solution 1

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

The term "personification" refers to a literary device in which non-human objects and ideas are given human characteristics. This device is particularly common in poetry. In this example, the trees are meant to be "sighing." This is impossible from a literal point of view, as trees are not humans and thus cannot sigh. Therefore, we can conclude that the author is using personification.

Solution 2
Personification because the trees are "sighing"

Question
Which lines in the poem express the view that death is an enviable state that frees the departed from the miseries of the body and old age? Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy ; [ My sin was too much hope of thee, lov'd boy. ] Seven years thou wert lent to me, and I thee pay, [ Exacted by thy fate, on the just day. ] Oh, could I lose all father now ! For why [ Will man lament the state he should envy? To have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage, And if no other misery, yet age ! ] Rest in soft peace, and, asked, say, Here doth lie Ben Jonson his best piece of poetry. [ For whose sake henceforth all his vows be such ] As what he loves may never like too much.
Solution 1

Answer: (For why) Will man lament the state he should envy? / To have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage, / And if no other misery, yet age !

Explanation: From the context, we can guess that the state that man laments but "should envy" is death at a very young age, before having to suffer the evils of the world and the decay of the body (world's and  flesh's rage).

Solution 2
Will man lament the state he should envy?
To have so soon 'scaped world's and flesh's rage,
And if no other misery, yet age !
