Abstract

The article critiques poet Ben Jonson's 17th-century poem "Ode to Sir William Sydney, on His Birth-day" as an early example of the formal ode in English literature. It addresses how Jonson conforms to the austere ethos of the household of Sir Robert Sidney, the poem's maintenance of a delicate decorum, and the demonstration of Jonson's control of imitation and allusion.
