Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from Stratford
You are a friend.html">friend then, as I make it out,
Will put an ass's head in Fairyland
All most harmonious, -- and out of his
Fills Ilion, Rome, or any town you like
And I must wonder what you think of him --
By Stratford, and where you're an Alderman.
To be a farrier there, or say a dyer;
Or like enough the wizard of all tanners.
In you a kindling of the flame that saves --
I see it, and was told of it, moreover,
Had you been one of the sad average,
The sinew and the solvent of our Island,
Approved and estimated friend Ben Jonson;
Contingent entertainment of a townsman
If he shall ever be the Duke of Stratford.
Far from it; for one town's as like another
And there's the Stratford in him; he denies it,
I tell him he needs Greek; but neither God
You see the fates have given him so much,
Of London, where he sees too many lords;
There's nothing fouler down among the demons
The dust and sweat and ointment of his calling

He'd frame a lower rating of men then
