What is the title of Donne's famous poem about marriage?

  1. To His Coy Mistress

  2. The Flea

  3. The Sun Rising

  4. A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning

The correct answer is: A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning

A, B, and C are incorrect because they are all titles of other famous poems written by John Donne. "To His Coy Mistress" is about a man trying to convince a woman to have sex with him, "The Flea" is about a man trying to convince a woman to have sex with him, using a flea as a metaphor, and "The Sun Rising" is a love poem. "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" is about a married couple separating and the strength of their love and commitment to each other.
