At court I met it, in clothes brave enough,
To be a courtier; and lookes grave enough,
To seeme a statesman: as I neere it came,
It made me a great face, I ask’d the name.
A lord, it cryed, buried in flesh, and blood.
And such from whom let no man hope least good,
For I will doe none: and as little ill,
For I will dare none. Good Lord, walke dead still.

Ben Jonson: On some-thing, that walkes some-where, from Epigrammes, 1616
William Drummond reported of Ben Jonson "that Sir John Roe loved him, and when they two were ushered by my Lord Suffolk from a masque, Roe wrote a moral epistle to him... [saying] God threateneth kings, kings lords, and lords do us. He never esteemeth of a man, for the name of a lord."
