Alchymista - Ben Jonson
O knize Alchymista Brilantní komedie významného alžbětinského dramatika patří k vrcholům anglické renesanční dramatiky. Odehrává se v Londýně, kde služebníci pána domu, který se vydává za alchymistu, v jeho nepřítomnosti páchají spoustu podvodů. Slibují svým obětem získat lásku nebo moc výměnou za peníze. Satirický pohled na lidskou chamtivost, naivitu a touhu po rychlém zisku je okořeněný řadou slovních hříček a pobaví neodolatelnými komickými situacemi.

Poem of the Week 8-9-11
A Fit of Rhyme Against Rhyme By Ben Jonson Rhyme, the rack of finest wits, That expresseth but by fits True conceit, Spoiling senses of their treasure, Cozening judgment with a measure, But false weight; Wresting words from their true calling, Propping verse for fear of falling To the ground; Jointing syllabes, drowning letters, Fast’ning vowels as with fetters They were bound! Soon as lazy thou wert known, All good poetry hence was flown, And art banish’d.
On my First Son by Ben Jonson | Poetry Foundation
Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy; My sin was too much hope of thee, lov'd boy. Seven years tho' wert lent to me, and I thee pay, Exacted by thy fate, on the just day. O, could I lose all father now! For why Will man lament the state he should envy? To have so soon 'scap'd world's and flesh's rage, And if no other misery, yet age?
Ben Jonson: English poet, playwright, and contemporary of Shakespeare
On My First Son On My First Son Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy; My sin was too much hope of thee, lov’d boy. Seven years thou’wert lent to me, and I thee pay, Exacted by thy fate, on the just day. O, could I lose all father now! For why Will man lament the state he should envy? To have so soon ‘scap’d world’s and flesh’s rage, And, if no other misery, yet age? Rest in soft peace, and, ask’d, say here doth lie Ben Jonson his best piece of poetry.
Silent Forests of the Heart
Is there an ethics of representation around the work of mourning? How should one write in the face of grief? Is extravagance a suitable response to the enormity of loss, or should one opt for spare restraint, as Mary Jo Bang does when writing about the death of a son. In “You Were You Are Elegy,” from Elegy (2007), she scrapes language down, as if linguistic fuss and metaphor might misrepresent, falsify, or let loose something dangerous: Fragile like a child is fragile. Destined not to be forever.
The Noble Nature
My Picture Left in Scotland I now think love is rather deaf, than blind, For else it could not be, That she, Whom I adore so much, should so slight me, And cast my love behind: I'm sure my language was as sweet, And every close did meet In sentence of as subtle feet As hath the youngest he, That sits in shadow of Apollo's tree.
It’s Treason Season
It’s the most treasonous part of the year! Remember, remember the 8th of November, which is of course the anniversary of the First Catilinarian Oration, and Catilina subsequently fleeing Rome to go and do treason elsewhere. Who cares about Guy Fawkes? Or maybe, who cared enough in 2005 to put on a Treasonous Play for the 400th Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot? The Royal Shakespeare Company did, when they decided to put on Ben Jonson’s rarely performed tragedy, Sejanus His Fall.
My Picture Left in Scotland by Ben Jonson
I now think Love is rather deaf than blind, For else it could not be That she, Whom I adore so much, should so slight me And cast my love behind. I'm sure my language to her was as sweet, And every close did meet In sentence of as subtle feet, As hath the youngest He That sits in shadow of Apollo's tree.
To the Immortal Memory and Friendship of That Noble Pair, Sir Lucius Cary and Sir Henry Morison by Ben Jonson
The Turn Brave infant of Saguntum, clear Thy coming forth in that great year, When the prodigious Hannibal did crown His rage with razing your immortal town. Thou, looking then about, Ere thou wert half got out, Wise child, didst hastily return, And mad’st thy mother’s womb thine urn.
Song: to Celia [“
Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I’ll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee.
Get the Word of the Day - disjune | Dictionary.com
Origin of disjune The rare word disjune is formed from the Old French prefix des-, dis-, which comes from the Latin prefix dis- “apart, asunder, in two, in different directions” (the prefix dis- is related to the Latin numeral duo “two”). The Latin prefix may also be used like the English prefix un- to express the reverse or negative of the positive, e.g., untie, undo.
On Spies by Ben Jonson
Spies, you are lights in state, but of base stuff, Who, when you’ve burnt yourselves down to the snuff, Stink and are thrown away. End fair enough.
The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor
Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I’ll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honoring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself but thee.
To the Memory of My Beloved the Author, Mr. William Shakespeare
To draw no envy, Shakespeare, on thy name, Am I thus ample to thy book and fame; While I confess thy writings to be such As neither man nor muse can praise too much; 'Tis true, and all men's suffrage.

Inviting a Friend to Supper
Tonight, grave sir, both my poor house, and I Do equally desire your company; Not that we think us worthy such a guest, But that your worth will dignify our feast With those that come, whose grace may make that seem Something, which else could hope for no esteem. It is the fair acceptance, sir, creates The entertainment perfect, not the cates.
To Fool or Knave
Thy praise or dispraise is to me alike: One doth not stroke me, nor the other strike.
