Ben Jonson (originally Benjamin Jonson /ˈdʒɒnsən/; c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English playwright, poet, and literary critic of the seventeenth century, whose artistry exerted a lasting impact upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours. He is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Foxe (1605), The Alchemist (1610), and Bartholomew Fayre: A Comedy (1614), and for his lyric poetry; he is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.[1] Jonson was a classically educated, well-read, and cultured man of the English Renaissance with an appetite for controversy (personal and political, artistic and intellectual) whose cultural influence was of unparalleled breadth upon the playwrights and the poets of the Jacobean era (1603–1625) and of the Caroline era (1625–1642).[2][3] Ben Jonson said that his family originally came from the folk of the Anglo-Scottish border country, which genealogy is verified by the three spindles (rhombi) in the Jonson family coat of arms. One spindle is a diamond-shaped heraldic device shared with the Border-country Johnstone family of Annandale. Jonson's clergyman father died two months before his birth; his mother married a master bricklayer two years later.[4][5] Jonson attended school in St. Martin's Lane. Later, a family friend paid for his studies at Westminster School, where the antiquarian, historian, topographer, and officer of arms, William Camden (1551–1623) was one of his masters. In the event, the pupil and the master became friends, and the intellectual influence of Camden's broad-ranging scholarship upon Jonson's art and literary style remained notable, until Camden's death in 1623. John Addington Symonds demonstrated in The Academy 16 (1884) that almost every line has its counterpart in “Epistle xxxiii” of the erotic love-letter Epistles of Philostratus, The Athenian.[4] Richard Cumberland had, however, identified the link to "an obscure collection of love-letters" by Philostratus as early as 1791.[5] George Burke Johnston noted that "the poem is not a translation, but a synthesis of scattered passages. Although only one conceit is not borrowed from Philostratus, the piece is a unified poem, and its glory is Jonson's. It has remained alive and popular for over three hundred years, and it is safe to say that no other work by Jonson is so well known."[6] Another classical strain in the poem derives from Catullus.[7] In a brief notice J. Gwyn Griffiths noted the similarity of the conceit of perfume given to the rosy wreath in a poem in the Greek Anthology[8] and other classical parallels could be attested, natural enough in a writer of as wide reading as Jonson.

Volpone, or, The Fox Audiobook Ben JONSON Volpone, or, The Fox Ben JONSON (1572 - 1637) Volpone is a comedy by Ben Jonson first produced in 1606, drawing on elements of city comedy and beast fable. A merciless satire of greed and lust, it remains Jonson's most-performed play, and it is among the finest Jacobean Era comedies. Volpone is a Venetian gentleman who pretends to be on his deathbed, after a long illness, in order to dupe Voltore, Corbaccio, and Corvino, three men who aspire to inherit his fortune. In their turns, each man arrives to Volpone’s house bearing a luxurious gift, intent upon having his name inscribed to the will of Volpone, as his heir. Mosca, Volpone’s parasite servant, encourages each man, Voltore, Corbaccio, and Corvino, to believe that he has been named heir to Volpone’s fortune; in the course of which, Mosca persuades Corbaccio to disinherit his own son in favour of Volpone. - Summary by Wikipedia ben jonson poems the alchemist ben jonson ben jonson volpone ben jonson biography ben jonson poet ben jonson to penshurst ben jonson quotes to celia ben jonson ben jonson dedicatee orare ben jonson ben jonson on my first son ben jonson poetry ben jonson playwright ben jonson primary school ben jonson on shakespeare ben jonson the alchemist volpone ben jonson the alchemist by ben jonson ben jonson school play by ben jonson ben jonson epigrams on my first son ben jonson ben jonson journal ben jonson poem ben jonson wiki english poet english poets ben jonson song to celia ben jonson shakespeare shakespeare poems ben jonson primary ben jonson on my first son analysis song to celia ben jonson volpone by ben jonson ben jonson pub biography of william shakespeare shakespeare poetry ben jonson epitaph ben jonson to celia poems by shakespeare poems of shakespeare william shakespeare life biography of ben jonson the alchemist ben jonson sparknotes ben jonson poeta ben jonson writer ben jonson on my first daughter ben jonson facts ben jonson sparknotes ben jonson 1606 poetry in english ben jonson epicoene poems and poets ben jonson alchemist william shakespeare poems song to celia by ben jonson life of william shakespeare english poems poetry websites on my first son ben jonson analysis poetry about life on my first son by ben jonson poems about life alchemist ben jonson biography william shakespeare life and works of shakespeare to celia by ben jonson poetry on life english poetry william shakespeare poetry poetry for kids ben jonson sonnets ben jonson monologues the life of william shakespeare poems of william shakespeare still to be neat ben jonson poetry blogs life of ben jonson literature poems famous poets shakespeare life and works poetry online poems about love poetry foundation poems for children on my first sonne ben jonson summary of the alchemist by ben jonson ben jonson song to celia analysis poets and writers the alchemist ben jonson summary poems about love poems about life poems for children poetry foundation famous poets poetry for kids english poems shakespeare poems william shakespeare poems english poetry poets and writers biography of william shakespeare poetry about life english poets free poems poetry websites william shakespeare life poetry in english shakespeare works poetry blogs poetry sites english poet good poetry poetry online shakespeare poetry poems of life william shakespeare works poems by william shakespeare life of william shakespeare poems of william shakespeare poetry on life poetry london the alchemist ben jonson poems by shakespeare life poetry the life of william shakespeare ben jonson primary school works of william shakespeare best english poems ben jonson poems all poems poetry english free poetry english poems about life ben jonson on my first son biography william shakespeare ben jonson volpone poems english poems of shakespeare book of poetry ben jonson biography poetry search ben jonson poet ben jonson the alchemist volpone ben jonson william shakespeare poetry english literature poems poetry poems poetry of life shakespeare work

"To Celia" poem by Ben Jonson Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I’ll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee.

Benjamin "Ben" Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 – 6 August 1637) was an English Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays, particularly Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, which are considered his best, and his lyric poems. A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. Jonson claimed his family was of Scottish Border country descent, and this claim may have been supported by the fact that his coat of arms bears three spindles or rhombi, a device shared by a Borders family, the Johnstones of Annandale. His father died a month before Ben's birth, and his mother remarried two years later, to a master bricklayer.Jonson attended school in St. Martin's Lane, and was later paid for by a friend to go to Westminster School, where one of his teachers was William Camden. Jonson remained friendly with Camden, whose broad scholarship evidently influenced his own style, until the latter's death in 1623. On leaving, Jonson was once thought to have gone on to the University of Cambridge,but Jonson himself contradicts this, saying that he did not go to university, but was put to a trade, probably bricklaying, immediately: a legend recorded by Thomas Fuller indicates that he worked on a garden wall in Lincoln's Inn. He soon had enough of the trade and spent some time in the Low Countries as a volunteer with the regiments of Francis Vere. In conversations with poet William Drummond of Hawthornden, subsequently published as the Hawthornden Manuscripts, Jonson reports that while in the Netherlands he killed an opponent in single combat and stripped him of his weapons. Jonson married a woman whom he described to Drummond as "a shrew, yet honest." His wife has not been definitively identified, but she is sometimes identified as the Ann Lewis who married a Benjamin Jonson at St Magnus-the-Martyr, near London Bridge. The registers of St. Martin's Church state that his eldest daughter Mary died in November 1593, when she was six months old. His eldest son Benjamin died of the plague ten years later aged seven (Jonson's epitaph to him On My First Sonne was written shortly after), and a second Benjamin died in 1635. For five years during this period Jonson lived separately from his wife, enjoying the hospitality of Lord Aubigny. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on
