The language used by Donne was not archaic when he wrote those lines.
(Thou, thy,
thine, thee, etc.). It derives its strength partially from the fact that,
with
some five exceptions, every word is derived from Germanic sources, over
500 years
after the Norman invasion.

Met vriendelijke Groeten,

Arthur

Arthur,
  Just being picky, but I make it seven, if we exclude "Europe": entire,
piece,
continent, promontory, manor, diminishes and involved!
  I agree with your point though.
