Ben Jonson

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

Ben Jonson

Men's manners ne'er were viler, for your sake.

Still may reason war with rhyme,
Resting never!

Ben Jonson

Ambition, like a torrent, ne'er looks back;
And is a swelling, and the last affection
A high mind can put off; being both a rebel
Unto the soul and reason, and enforceth
All laws, all conscience, treads upon religion,
and offereth violence to nature's self.

Ben Jonson

A valiant man Ought not to undergo, or tempt a danger, But worthily, and by selected ways, He undertakes with reason, not by chance. His valor is the salt t' his other virtues, They're all unseason'd without it.
