Your paper -- 5 pages, double-spaced (approx. 1250 words), with 1-inch margins -- is due (in TWO COPIES, please) at class, Thursday, 21 November.
In Donne, ed. Smith, pp. 72-73: "A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day":
One strong recommendation: this is not (as you are about to notice) an especially "easy" poem. Among the things that make it difficult are its words: on the level of "what do they MEAN?" OED might be worth bearing in mind as a ready reference resource.
