What is Elegy V: His Picture by John Donne about?

This poem is about a man giving his lover a picture of himself before departing, knowing that one day they will both be dead. He acknowledges that over time and hardship the picture may come to better represent his appearance. However, he hopes it will remind her that she should not let his external changes diminish how she sees his inner self or values their love. The picture is meant to be a reminder of who he was to her.
