Thanks. Here's the entire poem for all Donne lovers:
The Triple Foole
by John Donne
I am two fooles, I know,
For loving, and for saying so
In whining Poetry;
But wheres that wiseman, that
would not be I,
If she would not deny?
Then as the earths inward narrow
crooked lanes
Do purge sea waters fretfull salt
away.
I thought, if I could draw my
paines,
Through rimes vexation, I should
them allay,
Griefe brought to numbers cannot
be so fierce,
For, he tames it, that fetters it in verse.
But when I have done so,
Some man, his art and voice to
show,
Doth Set and sing my paine,
And, by delighting many, frees
againe
Grief, which verse did restrain.
To Love, and Griefe tribute of verse
belongs,
But not of such as pleases when tis
read,
Both are increased by such songs:
For both their triumphs so are
published,
And I, which was two fooles, do so
grow three;
Who are a little wise, the best fooles
bee.

because I am involved in Mankind."
