I loved the man and do honor his memory, on this side idolatry, as much as any.
The Works of Ben Jonson, Second Folio (1640)
Come my Celia, let us prove,
While we can, the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.
The Works of Ben Jonson, First Folio (1616)
There shall be no love lost.
Every Man out of His Humour (1598)
I now think, Love is rather deaf, than blind,
For else it could not be,
That she,
Whom I adore so much, should so slight me,
And cast my love behind.
The Works of Ben Jonson, Second Folio (1640)
Follow a shadow, it still flies you,
Seem to fly, it will pursue:
So court a mistress, she denies you;
Let her alone, she will court you.
Say are not women truly, then,
Styled but the shadows of us men?
