Episode description
[Renaissance poetry] Some poems of Donne's: his salacious wit, and the difference between the speaker who'd really think this salaciousness was attractive, and the more sophisticated speaker Donne is actually presenting, who thinks the game of exaggerated salaciousness is fun and therefore flirtatious: a flirtatious flirting with flirtatiousness. And a different and more bitter Donne in "Love's Alchemy."
