Ben Jonson. A Pindaric Ode."To the immortal memory and friendship of that noble pair".
"For What is life if measured by the space,
Not by the act?
Or masked man, if valued by his face,
Above his fact?"
那麼，請恕我問你一個稍感尖銳的問題
（嘿想拿出量角器嗎？）
要怎麼衡量一個詩人的價值呢？
是要確立數量與質量間的比率，還是
只要有過一首好詩，便能
永垂不朽？
晚你一個世紀的華茲華斯，是不是也多活了六十年？
