“Then” or “Than”?[edit]

In the text of the sonnet is the first word of the second line correct? 213.205.194.8 (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, according to the cited source. The grammatical construction (to paraphrase slightly) is: "Don't mourn any longer than you hear the bell." Cheers. Phil wink (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
