Upon Ben Jonsons Booke
BEE NOT Deceived (Dull world) Hee is not Dead;
Rumor is false; open His Booke and read;
It is Himselfe; there, Everie Scene affords
Words above Action; Matter beyond words;
If Readers, what I say will not suffice
T' evince your Follies; I dare bid you twice,
What yet you have not Done: Open, and Read;
Recant; or else tis You, not Hee that's Dead.
