Book Description
"Cynthia's Revels; Or, The Fountain of Self-Love" by Ben Jonson In the play, the goddess, Cynthia, has ordained a "solemn revels" in the valley of Gargaphie in Greece. The gods Cupid and Mercury appear, and they too start to argue. Mercury has awakened Echo, who weeps for Narcissus, and states that a drink from Narcissus's spring causes the drinkers to "Grow dotingly enamored of themselves." Asotus, a foolish spendthrift who longs to become a courtier and a master of fashion and manners, also drinks from the spring; emboldened by vanity and self-love, he challenges all comers to a competition of "court compliment." The competition is held, in four phases, and the courtiers are beaten.

Book Description
Poetaster is a celebrated satirical comedy written by Ben Jonson that formed an important element in the infamous War of the Theatres of 1599–1601. Set in the court of Emperor Augustus, the central plot revolves around the conspiracy of the poetaster Crispinus and his friend Demetrius, and Pantilius Tucca, to slander Horace, who represented Jonson. The trial is then taken before Augustus, with Virgil as a judge. More than a dig at the two rivals, John Marston and Thomas Dekker, this play expressed Jonson's views on "the poet's moral duties in society."
