Ending with an evermore heavy dose of alliteration‚ the phrase “Wilder wring” completes the first two lines some excellent rhyming of pang‚ forepangs and wring‚ and also wilder and wring. The effect of the heavy rhyming and alliteration in the first two lines on the reader is that it makes for very memorable and excitable phrases‚ even when contextually the speaker is describing a

In both poems‚ Donne explores the two opposing themes of physical and sacred love; in his love poem "The Flea‚" he depicts the speaker as an immoral human being who is solely concerned with pleasing himself‚ where as in his sacred poem "Holy Sonnet 14" Donne portrays the speaker as a noble human being because he is anxious to please God. In the book The Divine Poems‚ writer Helen Gardner supports this fact as she argues‚ "His Maker is more powerfully
