Poem: Goe, and catche a falling star

Stanza: lives a woman true and faire . . .
Explanation: 
The poem gives a general idea of the inconstancy of women and their
characteristic . Donne, gave his opinion in which he was talking about the
loyal woman, he said that it is possible to find a shooting star but one cannot
find one loyal woman in the world. He also challenges someone to travel
around the world for ten thousand days, and find a loyal woman who will be
loyal to them. He claims that the hunt or the search for such loyal woman will
be fruitless and of no use because there are no loyal women. He seems very
hopeless in finding such women in his life . Because these type of women are
very rare.
And he said that if someone is lucky enough to find such woman for them, it
will be a sweet pilgrimage for john Donne, to go meet such woman. Then he
comes back from his words that he will not go meet such woman even if she
lived next door, because by the time he reaches to her she would have
deceived two or three lovers. 
Donne is exaggerating and is giving such a maximum emphasis and intensity
to the natural speech rhythm as of a man is talking excitedly. 
All this shows how badly he is broken in search of loyal women.

Poem: The sunne rising
Stanza: o busy old fool . . . 
Explanation:
The poet in this stanza wants to bend the rules of the universe. Rather than allowing the
sun's "motions" across the sky to govern the way the speaker spends his time, the speaker
challenges the sun's authority and claims that love gives him
The poet calls the sun as interfering and discourteous and rebukes it for
looking through the windows of the bedroom where he and his beloved are
making love. He scolds the sun, and says that it is none of your business to
disturb them. Poet call the sun that he is invading their privacy .
This stanza shows the happy mood of the poet. This poem is the dramatic
monologue. John Donne, is speaking to the sun as its rays enters his bedroom
through the window, the poet is annoyed and pissed because he is with his
lover and making love. He takes the sunlight rays as the invasion of his
privacy. He calls the sun fool. He then said that the sunrays can be beneficial
for the school boys, or the king’s huntsman, or the farmers but the lovers are
not bound by the movement of the sun. Their love is for eternity and the sun
or the movements of the sun cannot guide them anything. He said that he can
stop seeing the sunlight by closing his eyes but he can’t because then he will
be deprived of the sight of his beloved. Do lovers really have to structure their
schedules around your movements across the sky? You rude, inflexible, and
insensitive jerk, go scold boys who are late to school and apprentices who are
sulky about their early morning. Go tell the king's hunting party that the king
is about to ride out on a hunt, and urge lowly farm workers to start their
harvesting duties. Love, in all its forms, is above the influence of seasons and
weather. It is also above the influence of hours, days, and months, which,
unlike love, wear out like old rags as time passes.
The poet considers himself and his beloved the luckiest in the world. And he
asks sun to come back tomorrow after seeing the wealth and glory of the
world, but he is the luckiest and has everything because he is with his beloved.
Taking the conceit to the farthest end of exaggeration, he asks the sun to shine
and send his rays to his bedroom because he thinks his all world is his beloved
and being with him in the room means everything to him. 
This poem is carried beyond the limits of reason. The arguments and the
words used in this poem make it a remarkable poem of john Donne. And also,
the sun is conscious, has the watchful personality of an old busybody, and
second he thinks that his whole world is his room because he and his beloved
are there.
