I was interested in the forms of the two poems and the various ways in which they were connected. Formally, they are very similar. “The Funeral” is shorter than “The Canonization,” but their stanzas are set up very similarly as far as length and indentations. They also both seem to be very stern warnings towards others. They have a strong opinion on something, and they are each very direct in getting that point across. Do you think that the form of these poems contributes in any way to the version of a message they are trying to send? This seems to be especially true because none of the other Donne works we have read follow this exact form.
