Death's Duel (original) (raw)
Death's Duel is the final sermon delivered by John Donne as the Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. Donne received notice to preach the sermon on the first Friday of Lent (12 February, 1631 ) and preached the sermon on 25 February, 1631. The sermon was likely written out in full prior to Donne preaching it as it was subsequently prepared for publication. The act of preaching exhausted Donne. To those he had preached to, it seemed as though he had delivered his own death sermon. The sermon was entered in the Stationers' Register on 30 September, 1631, although not with its title which first appeared in print along with a 1632 date. Donne died on 31 March, 1631.
