EPIGRAM: ON MONGREL ESQUIRE by BEN JONSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: HIS BOUGHT ARMS MONG NOT LIKED; FOR HIS FIRST DAY
Last Line: AND HATH NO HONOUR LOST, OUR DUELLISTS SAY.
His bought arms Mong' not liked; for his first day
Of bearing them in field, he threw 'hem away:
And hath no honour lost, our duellists say.
