Answer:
It causes the reader to exult that life will ultimately triumph over death.
Step-by-step explanation:
The poem "Death, be not proud" by John Donne is a poem that talks about the lack of power of Death. In this poem, the poet addresses Death, and it warns her about being too proud. He tells Death that she is not as powerful as she think she is, as she is at the whim of kings, fate, chance and desperate men. Moreover, Death cannot even hold people forever, as all people will eventually awaken again. The last couplet emphasizes this idea of life eventually winning over death:
"One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."
