On Something, That Walks Somewhere
By Ben Jonson
At court I met it, in clothes brave enough To be a courtier, and looks grave enough To seem a statesman: as I near it came, It made me a great face. I asked the name. "A lord," it cried, "buried in flesh and blood, And such from whom let no man hope least good, For I will do none; and as little ill, For I will dare none." Good lord, walk dead still.
