Jonson

Famous quotes containing the word jonson:

    Though I am young and cannot tell
    Either what death or love is well,
    Yet I have heard they both bear darts,

    Love wounds with heat, as death with cold;
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    Tonight, grave sir, both my poore house, and I

    Not that we thinke us worthy such a ghest,
    But that your worth will dignifie our feast,
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    Talking is the disease of age.
