Its translation is "Un invito che proibisce di lamentarsi".

This poem is a song composed by John Donne. Reading the title, the reader cannot understand the situation. He can only imagine what the song may be about. Gradually he understand that the song speaks about two lovers that are going to separate for a limited period of time.

The first stanza has got an introductory function. Donne introduces the problem making a comparison between the two lovers and the death of a virtuous man. The situations are sad but he invites the lovers not to mourn, as the virtuous men do when they die. The lovers should not make confusion because they are going to separate.

In the second stanza the poet explains better the concept and introduces a very important element in his speech: "the laity our love". This can be considered the physical aspect of love. In Donne's opinion love cannot be confined to senses only. It should include the mind in order to be concrete, complete and perfect. It is important to find a balance.

In the third stanza the poet makes another comparison between Earth's movement and the lovers' movement. The most important word in this stanza is trepidation. The word "trepidation" is very relevant because it is a feeling that you feel when you are not balanced or when something is unexpected.

In the fourth quatrain the poet's thought comes to surface. He speaks about "Dull sublunary lovers' love" and he adds that "Whose soul is sense cannot admit of absence". John Donne wants to communicate that men's love is linked only to senses and that therefore it cannot accept the distance of the beloved.
