Ben Jonson Quotes29 of 167 |
||
Thou art not, Penshurst, built to envious show Of touch or marble,
nor canst boast a row Of polished
pillars, or a roof of gold; Thou hast no
lantern whereof tales are told, Or stair, or courts;
but standst an ancient pile, And these grudged
at, art reverenced the while.
