Summary of the poem the noble nature by ben jonson

Answer 1

In the poem The Noble Nature, the poet Ben Johnson highlights the qualities that a man must possess to be considered as noble. To explain this, he compares man to both an oak tree and a lily.

If man is like an oak tree, he will no doubt live a long life. He may also physically grow to be bulky like the tree. But, just as the oak becomes a lifeless piece of log, a man blessed with physical build, material assets and long life will not remain for long in the minds of people around him.

However, if man is like a lily, he is likely to have a short life span. The lily blooms by the day and withers by the night. Yet, it is appreciated for its beauty and the delight it causes others with its presence during that short period of time. Similarly, if man does good during the short period he lives, people will continue to talk good about him even after he is gone. This is what actually makes a man noble.
