![]() I believe that the man wrote a letter to her and this is her reading it in his voice as though he is talking to her. During this poem, the narrator is a man that is in love with Celia and wants to prove to her that they can be together. This poem addresses the social phenomenon of falling in love. This poem is about a man who wrote a letter to Celia to try and win her over/ convince her that they belong together. The poem that I will be analysing is Song to Celia by Ben Jonson. Although the vocabulary used is quite old, the thoughts conveyed could not be more new. The author appears to assume that he and Celia have the best chance to act on their passion, perhaps because their husband is away and they shouldn’t let the moment slip. This statement is the version of the modern expression “you live only once” from the 17th century. Throughout lines 3-9, the expression “while we can” is extended as the speaker states that they will enjoy the moment.

However, he feels that keeping their affair hidden from those in the “household” and even from him who was “removed by our wile,” probably Celia’s husband, will be pretty easy. Written in the native dialect of the Bengali Muslims, Miya poetry is confrontational, laced with satire and talks about the discrimination meted out to them. The poems document the discrimination they have face in the state. The speaker discounts “fame and rumour,” suggesting that it wouldn’t really matter if they had been caught together and their reputations ruined. Miya poetry is a genre of poems written by Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam. The poet invites Celia, his love interest, to show how much pleasure they will gain from “love.” It is obvious from the remainder of the poem that the “love” alluded to intimate physical love. Speaker of the poem wishes to explain the nature of “the sport of love.” “Sport” here means not physical exertion but its archaic meaning as a form of pleasure or enjoyment. “Prove” implies proof of the reality or validity of something. Specifically, for the contemporary reader the words “prove” and “sports” have significantly different implications than they did for the readers of Ben Jonson’s.
