EPIGRAM: TO COURTLING, by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: I grieve not, courtling, thou art started up
Last Line: Thy person only, courtling, is the vice.
First Line: I grieve not, courtling, thou art started up
Last Line: Thy person only, courtling, is the vice.
I grieve not, Courtling, thou art started up
A chamber-critic, and dost dine, and sup
At madam's table, where thou mak'st all wit
Go high, or low, as thou wilt value it.
'Tis not thy judgement breeds the prejudice,
Thy person only, Courtling, is the vice.
