ON THE UNION by BEN JONSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN WAS THERE CONTRACT BETTER DRIVEN BY FATE?
Last Line: THE SPOUSED PAIR TWO REALMS, THE SEA THE RING.

When was there contract better driven by Fate?
Or celebrated with more truth of state?
The world the temple was, the priest a king,
The spoused pair two realms, the sea the ring.
