To Celia Comments

Great

Jonson's poetry, like his drama, is informed by his classical learning. Some of his better-known poems are close translations of Greek or Roman models; all display the careful attention to form and style that often came naturally to those trained in classics in the humanist manner.

TWO: I like Love poems very much and this Great Classic poem is very high classified and I wish to Congratulate the great Poet's family for this Classic Poem Of The Day on our PoemHunter

ONE: For the general reader, Jonson's reputation rests on a few lyrics that, though brief, are surpassed for grace and precision by very few Renaissance poems: among others 'On My First Sonne'; 'To Celia'; He is og highest educarion of his time. Marvelous to discover this,5 Stars highest
