I want to say a word about fathers and daughters.

His mother, the daughter of poet and playwright John Heywood, descended from Sir Thomas More.

At the tender age of twelve, Donne enrolled at Hart Hall, Oxford University. After three years, he transferred to Cambridge University, but did not complete a degree at either institution.

His early entry and subsequent refusal to formally graduate stem from his Catholic faith, as he was unwilling to take the Oath of Supremacy required for a degree.
