“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,”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Watts need of semantic succour was at times so great that he would set to trying names on things, and on himself, almost as a woman hats.”
