Death and pride?

1 ⤊

In this 17th c sonnet, Death is told not to have pride, for his power is exaggerated and termporary, and the veracity of his might is rejected.

Name the the poet and sonnet, I will also accept the poet's name and first four of of the sonnet.

I'm not sure if I'll be on right when I'm able to choose a best answer, so, delay aside, Paul P is correct, though he did not name the poet. I'd wait for a complete answer, but after several hours and 2 tries, it's futile as far as I'm concerned. So Paul will get it when I'm able to select a best answer.

Congratulations, Paul P, second answerer.
