Song to Celia

Song to Celia by Ben Johnson

I did not like this poem either. Maybe it's the monotony of reading all of these poems in a row to get them done. I'm not sure. I also hate the old style language of it, even though it doesn't change the words of the poem, it makes it a lot more confusing. I don't resent Johnson for writing like this because it was the style of his time, but I'll just never appreciate old poems because of this. It's like a language barrier.
