I think John Donne wrote it as "never send to know."
In the same work he also wrote:
Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a tiny clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were, or as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were. Every man's death diminishes me, because I am a part of mankind.
I think you misinterpret Donne here.
