Which line best states the theme of john donne"s holy sonnet 10?
a. " of their bones, and soul's delivery"
b. "die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me"

d. " doest with poison, war, and sickness "

B. "Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me."

In this poem, the author argues that Death is not really what we imagine, and that "he" is not as scary as Death himself believes. The poet argues that Death cannot actually kill you, as dying is only a long sleep, from which Christians will eventually wake up. The poem also states that Death is sometimes a relief, and that he brings pleasure, not pain.
