So you're saying that Ben Jonson, about whom there is absolutely no doubt
at all with regards to identity or the provenance of his works, is a liar
for no very good reason?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
