jennykeery's review against another edition
4.0
My favourite poems by Jonson are 'On my First Sonne' and 'To the memory of my beloved Shakespeare...', which are also probably his most well-known. They are both elegies, but somehow the writer's entire personality jumps out of both of them; his ego and the importance of self-presentation, though still present (he represents himself as a king and a judge in the Shakespeare elegy etc.) are humbly and touchingly set aside.

Read To the Memory of My Beloved, and On My First Son for school.
