More from Ben Jonson
Of all wild beasts preserve me from a tyrant; and of all tame, a flatterer.
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears: Yet, slower, yet; O faintly, gentle springs: List to the heavy part the music bears, Woe weeps out her division, when she sings. Droop herbs, and flowers, Fall grief in showers,
That old bald cheater, Time.
True happiness Consists not in the multitude of friends, But in the worth and choice.
There shall be no love lost.
The world knows only two, — that's Rome and I.
