I believe Donne is using the world as a metaphor for himself.Donne states that he is everything and that he embodies the goodness of the world, unfortunately that also comes with the sin if the world. And as the sin grows the world dies, and so will he.
Here in "Drown my world with my weeping earnestly,
Or wash it if it must be drown'd no more[i].[j][k]" he is asking God to make him weep for his sins that he commits! He is wanting to feel the pain he cause to God when he sins. He also say to rid himself of the weeping IF he must not feel the pain anymore (such as overcoming the sin and repenting)
It would seem that in the first few lines, Donne means that sin has corrupted and doomed the world to die. he then goen on that God has found new worlds to focus on, and thus abandoned this one. He wants the lord's fire to purify him and this world, and burn out the evilness that has infected the world.
