Just a reminder that during John Donne's time period certain English words were pronounced slightly different from modern pronunciation, So the rhyme scheme might sometime not match the modern accent. (There is no specific example in this poem)

to-morrow
I just don't understand why they use dash in to-morrow or to-day. I remember seeing that in Collins book as well but I disgarded it as a one time occurance, however it seems that it serves some kind of purpose for english novels? Might this be a way to indicate accent?

An accent refers to the degree of prominence of the way syllables are spoken in words, as when someone from Australia says “undah” whereas we say “under.” A regionalism is a type of expression, as when someone says “The dog wants walked,” instead of “the dog wants to go for a walk.” Dialect is a variety of language where one is distinguished from others by grammar and vocabulary. In Pennsylvania you might hear people say that they are going to “red up the room,” which means “to clean the room.”
Using certain accents, regionalisms, and dialects can prove effective depending on the type of speech one is giving.
