Growing Like A Tree Sampler

A Poem by Ben Jonson 1574 - 1638
It is not growing like a Tree In bulk doth make man better be. Or standing long an oak, three hundred year to fall a log at last, dry, bald and sere. A Lily of the day is fairer far in May Although it fall and die that night It was the plant and flower of Light. In small proportions we just beauties see And in short measures life may perfect be.
