Today in class, we did not have a quiz. We discussed the background of the poet, Ben Jonson. We also analyzed the poem "Come my Celia, let us prove" from one of Ben Jonson's satirical plays. The poem had a similar theme to "The Flea" by John Donne. We also started to discuss the poem "Clerimont's Song," which is also from one of Jonson's plays. It is about a person who suspects that the woman he is with is hiding something from him because she is so overdressed.
