Quote by Ben Jonson

Underneath this stone doth lie As much beauty as could die; Which in life did harbor give To more virtue than doth live.

Underneath this stone doth lie As much beauty as could die;

Summary

This quote reflects on the notion that true beauty and virtue often go unrecognized and unappreciated in life. The speaker suggests that beneath the surface of this stone lies a person who possessed an exceptional amount of beauty and virtue, which have now been lost and are mourned. The quote serves as a reminder that beauty is fleeting and often undervalued, and that true virtue can be hidden within individuals who may not receive the recognition they deserve during their lifetimes.
