The Poetaster is a play written by Ben Jonson in 1601. It is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the literary pretensions of Jonson's contemporary poets. The play is set in ancient Rome and follows the story of two rival poets, Ovid and Crispinus, who are vying for the patronage of the emperor Augustus. Ovid is a talented and respected poet, while Crispinus is a hack who plagiarizes his work from others. The play explores themes of jealousy, ambition, and the corrupting influence of power. It also includes several memorable characters, including the pompous and self-important poet Horace, and the scheming courtier Tucca. The Poetaster is considered one of Jonson's most successful plays, and is still performed and studied today.Ovid. I like not this sudden and general heaviness amongst our godheads; 'tis somewhat ominous. Apollo, command us louder music, and let Mercury and Momus contend to please and revive our senses.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
