Read the first four lines of shakespeare’s "sonnet 71.” no longer mourn for me when i am dead than you shall hear the surly sullen bell give warning to the world that i am fled from this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell: now read the first four lines of donne’s "holy sonnet 10.” death, be not proud, though some have called thee mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; for those, whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow, die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me. the topic that both quatrains have in common is a) anger. b) death. c) music. d) power.
