Additional quotes by Ben Jonson

Still may syllabes jar with time, Still may reason war with rhyme, Resting never!

Thy worst. I fart at thee.

You may go in and search, sir. Here I find
The empty walls worse than I left 'em, smoked;
A few cracked pots and glasses, and a furnace;
The ceiling filled with poesies of the candle,
And madam with a dildo writ o' the walls.
