Donne is using both personification and apostrophe in these lines. He is using apostrophe when he speaks to death as though it were a person who could hear it and respond to him. he also personifies death as if it were a person who could feel proud or be "mighty" and "dreadful".

In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of written work?

Nataly_w [17]

Using short sentences makes the author sound rude. using run-on sentences makes the author seem super talkative. I suggest use medium length sentences to set the tone.
