A Pindaric Ode by Ben Jonson — Love Poetry Lines
By Ben Jonson
THE TURN Brave infant of Saguntum, clear Thy coming forth in that great year, When the prodigious Hannibal did crown His rage with razing your immortal town.

How summ'd a circle didst thou leave mankind Of deepest lore, could we the centre find!
