Consists not in the multitude of friends,
But in the worth and choice.

Indeed there's a woundy luck in names.
Ben JonsonGood men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times
Ben JonsonIn small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures, life may perfect be.
Ben JonsonMemory, of all the powers of the mind, is the most delicate and frail.
Ben JonsonSoul of the age! The applause! delight! The wonder of our stage!
Ben JonsonNo, I do know that I was born
To age, misfortune, sickness, grief:
But I will bear these with that scorn
As shall not need thy false relief.
Nor for my peace will I go far,
As wanderers do, that still do roam;
But make my strengths, such as they are,
Here in my bosom, and at home.
He was not of an age, but for all time!

I feel my griefs too, and there scarce is ground
Upon my flesh t'inflict another wound.
Yet dare I not complain, or wish for death
With holy Paul; lest it be thought the breath
Of discontent; or that these prayers be
For weariness of life, not love of thee.
