TO MY MERE ENGLISH CENSURER, by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: To thee my way in epigrams seems new Last Line: Thy faith is all the knowledge that thou hast. Subject(s): Critics & Criticism | ||||||||
To thee, my way in epigrams seems new, When both it is the old way, and the true. Thou say'st, that cannot be: for thou hast seen Davies, and Weever, and the best have been, And mine come nothing like. I hope so. Yet, As theirs did with thee, mine might credit get: If thou'ld'st but use thy faith, as thou didst then, When thou wert wont t'admire, not censure men. Prithee believe still, and not judge so fast, Thy faith is all the knowledge that thou hast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES FREELY TAKEN FROM CALLIMACHUS by CHARLES MARTIN FORM DESTRUCTIONIST?ÇÖSCULPTOR by ROBERT MCALMON POETS AND CRITICS by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS LINES TO A DON by HILAIRE BELLOC TO A REVIEWER WHO ADMIRED MY BOOK by JOHN CIARDI SONORA DESERT POEM by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE SEVEN ARTS by ROBERT FROST IN MEMORY OF DAVID KALSTONE by ANTHONY HECHT METAMORPHOSES: 16.
