Of tragic writers, Muses do ordain
That all Tragedians, Masters of their Art,
Who shall hereafter follow on this tract,
In writing well, thy tragedy shall act.

NewsObs: Obs: Imagine a time when Shakespeare played a very second fiddle to Ben Jonson | Tomiwa Owolade
kingofolous: Ben Jonson is an incredible playwright. Author casually dismisses volpone like it’s fluff and apparently has never heard of *anything* else he wrote. Not even the alchemist, or bartholomew fair. Why are you writing this stupid crap?
literasyme: The Admiral's Men might have owned TWO -- a not very successful version whose receipts Henslowe recorded, and a complete rewrite they bought from Ben Jonson.

SamBuntz: Shakespeare and Ben Jonson used to people watch in the town square “gathering humors,” deriving characters from the faces they saw. Similarly, Tolstoy would sometimes write in the town square because the people’s faces inspired him. The greatest of the great used similar methods.
guardian: Imagine a time when Shakespeare played a very second fiddle to Ben Jonson | Tomiwa Owolade
SamBuntz: One of the craziest reports about Shakespeare is that he bragged to Ben Jonson that he’d “never blotted a line.” He just turned on the faucet and let it flow. Even Blake, a divinely inspired visionary, would carefully draft and re-draft. (Ofc S. could’ve been exaggerating/lying).

maryswraith: I love how immortal shakespeare is. ben jonson slapped when he said “he is not for an age but for all time” BUT some of the readings people have, especially with the idea that the plays only work cause teens are dumb, feel reductive particularly in this anti-intellectual climate
HeyLisaMorgan: This poem by Ben Jonson made me weep. I’ve never enjoyed studying poetry. But this poem reached across the centuries and reminded me of our shared humanity. “On My First Son” written in 1603.
vishalnewsman: "The voice so sweet, the words so fair, As some soft chime had stroked the air; And though the sound had parted thence, Still left an echo in the sense."

RuthfulThe: The False Prophet (say, Ben Jonson, or most modern writers) satirises the oath-breaker.
His romantic heroes move in and out of oaths the way his heroines move through disguises.
