A Valediction, Forbidding Mourning

As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls, to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
The breath goes now, and some say, no:

So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move,
‘Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.

Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears,
Men reckon what it did and meant,
But trepidation of the spheres,
Though greater far, is innocent.

Dull sublunary lovers love
(Whose soul is sense) cannot admit
Absence, because it doth remove
Those things which elemented it.

But we by a love, so much refin'd,
That our selves know not what it is,
Inter-assured of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss.

Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.

If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two,
Thy soul the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.

And though it in the centre sit,
Yet when the other far doth roam,
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as it comes home.

Such wilt thou be to me, who must
Like th' other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end, where I begun.

From the title the intelligente reader understands that the speaking voice's objective is to invite somebody not to cry. Why should somebody invite somebody other not to cry?? in this case the poet refers to his woman and she should not cry because of their separation.
This is a grat example of metaphysical poem and this is the reason why the reader concentrates on the way the poet tries to convince her.
Right from the start of the first stanza the poet makes a comparison between the way they will accept their separation and the way in which a virtuous man accepts his death. The poet gives, with this similies, an idea of quietness and calmness.
In the second stanza the poet underlines the uselessness of being sad and of crying. The separation rappresent a problem for lovers that are only physically attracted.
In the third stanza the speaking voice makes another metaphor in which he compares their love to extraordinary naturel phenomenons in order to highlight the magnitude of their love.
The contrast between the magnitude of earthquakes and celestial trepidation is likened to the love between two bodies and two souls.
In the following stanza the poet underlines the way their love will survive without the physical bond. What makes this stanza so interesting is the use of the verb elemented, which characterized the love of the sublunary lovers.
