Ben Jonson. Epigram 49. To Playwright. (original) (raw)

Ben Jonson

| E P I G R A M S . XLIX. — TO PLAYWRIGHT.PLAYWRIGHT me reads, and still my verses damns,He says I want the tongue of epigrams ;I have no salt, no bawdry he doth mean ;For witty, in his language, is obscene.Playwright, I loath to have thy manners knownIn my chaste book ; I profess them in thine own. | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Source:Jonson, Ben.
