3 Ben Jonson Quotes on Praise

Ben Jonson quotes on praise

32. Soul of the age! The applause, delight, the wonder of our stage! My Shakespeare, rise; I will not lodge thee by Chaucer or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie A little further, to make thee a room; Thou art a monument, without a tomb, And art alive still, while thy book doth live, And we have wits to read, and praise to give.

36. Sweet Swan of Avon!

45. It is as great a spite to be praised in the wrong place, and by a wrong person, as can be done to a noble nature.
