I personally tend to like Ben Jonson's more. I can't really explain why; perhaps I just enjoy more sophistication in my poetry. They are both quite lovely, though. Thank you for sharing them my dear!!
I think since Mr. Jonson's piece was meant to be read as poetry (as oppossed to Lou Reed's song) it is quite more effective as plain text. It is beautiful. I think it was a little unfair of me to put lyrics that were meant to be sung next to a classic poem.
Plus, "Still to Be Neat" is pretty much my mantra.
