Every 10th word

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every is a piece of the continent,
A part of main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were.
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls thee.
