I thought this class went pretty well: first a discussion of the Trinity based on a really fine letter to the TLS by someone named Neville Martin Gwynne (hello! if you're Googling yourself: that was a great letter!). \xa0Then a brief intro to Jonson and a close reading of Jonson's beautiful epigram/epitaph "On My First Daughter," here:Here lies, to each her parents\u2019 ruth,Mary, the daughter of their youth;Yet all heaven\u2019s gifts being heaven\u2019s due,It makes the father less to rue.At six months\u2019 end she parted henceWith safety of her innocence;Whose soul heaven\u2019s queen, whose name she bears,In comfort of her mother\u2019s tears,Hath placed amongst her virgin-train:Where, while that severed doth remain,This grave partakes the fleshly birth;Which cover lightly, gentle earth!
