ON THE NEW HOT-HOUSE by BEN JONSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE LATELY HARBOURED MANY A FAMOUS WHORE
Last Line: AND STILL BE A WHORE HOUSE. THEY ARE SYNONIMA.
Subject(s): PROSTITUTION; HARLOTS; WHORES; BROTHELS;
Where lately harboured many a famous whore,
A purging bill, now fixed upon the door,
Tells you it is a hot-house: so it may,
And still be a whore house. They are @3synonima.@1
