Nobody, death is the one being adressed.
In b4 facepalm.
Three literary devices used in Holy Sonnet X "Death, be not proud" by John Donne are personification (assigning human qualities to death), paradox (the idea that death is not as powerful as it may seem), and apostrophe (directly addressing death as if it were a person).
Death Be Not Proud - book - was created in 1949.
In John Donne's poem, "Death Be Not Proud," the speaker is addressing a personified death. The poem reads as follows: 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, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee doe goe, Rest of their bones, and souls deliverie. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well, And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then; One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die
i will die soon..........LOL!!
