As is well known, John Donne wrote four poems entitled “Valediction.” This paper examines the four valedictions. The construction of the valedictions is formed roughly in three stages. The first is the introduction of parting, the second is persuation and the last is confirmation of the reunion. The relationship between the speaker and the beloved varies from beginning of association to husband and wife. In “A Valediction: Of My Name, in the Window”, the speaker surmises his beloved will lose her love to him. In “A Valediction: Of the Book”, the speaker asks his beloved to write letters, and that will make them keep close. In “A Valediction: Of Weeping”, the speaker asks his beloved not to weep and sigh, which will make him haste toward death. In “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning”, the speaker seems to be a husband of the beloved’.
