Question

Discuss the Relique as a love poem

Answer 1

Answer:

Like many poems by Donne, "The Relic" exhibits his typical combination of passion with cynicism, and religion with impudence and implied skepticism. Meet at this grave, and make a little stay. In other words, the couple's love is so powerful that they will wish to defy Judgment Day, if only for a little while.
