Explanation:

The Holy Sonnet XIV by John Donne is a sonnet appealing for a restoration of the soul by God. The speaker of the poem is appealing to God enter his heart in a violent manner, not even requesting for gentle intervention.

The given lines are the first two lines of the sonnet. This poem is written in the iambic pentameter form of poetry, where each line has ten syllables, or iambs. And these syllables are in alternating meters, where the unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable.

Thus, the meter of the two lines is
