What is the main idea of Donnes Holy Sonnet 10?

The main idea of Donne's Holy Sonnet 10, also known as "Death Be Not Proud," is that death is not something to be feared or glorified because it is not the end of existence. The poet personifies death as a weak and powerless entity that cannot ultimately claim victory over the soul, which will continue to live on. The sonnet conveys a message of hope and reassurance in the face of mortality.

Is Why Brownlee left a sonnet?

Sort of. It's certainly playing with the form of the Italian sonnet. Like the Italian sonnet, "Why Brownlee Left" is broken up into an octave and a sestet. This is Muldoon indicating to us that this should at least recall the sonnet form. However, unlike the sonnet, "Why Brownlee Left" does not follow a rhyme scheme (an Italian sonnet is usually rhymed abbaabba cdecde, and the English sonnet usually ababcdcdefefgg) nor is it written in iambic pentameter (the lines are varying lengths rather than 10 syllables each). Muldoon is not a sloppy writer though; he's making this poem more about Brownlee, but also about the sonnet--this is metafiction in that respect. Just like Brownlee, who left when he had every reason to be content, poets are leaving behind the form of the sonnet (in exchange for the free verse we more typically see today) when they had every reason to be content with the sonnet form. That's one reading of it anyway. So, is this a sonnet? Sort of us. It's either commentary on the tradition of the sonnet, or it is an imperfect sonnet, or more likely it's both.

How many beats does a sonnet have?

A sonnet isn't defined in terms of beats. Its characteristic feature is being 14 lines long. There have been different variants of the 14 lines over the ages, but it started with the Petrarchan sonnet in Italy, and the main variants in English have been the Shakespearean and Miltonic sonnets. The Shakespearean sonnet is written in iambic pentameter (that is, each line has five feet in the order of unstressed-stressed syllables, for a total of 10 syllables per line). Perhaps that's what you're thinking of.
