Ben Jonson has the most game of the metaphysical poet-players society.

He states,
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free;/Such sweet neglect more taketh me/ Than all
thadulteries of art./ They strike mine eye, but not my heart. (Jonson 9-12). Stating
that he wants women who are not all made-up like paintings and as is acceptable at
the time. He says that a woman is beautiful as she is without always being made up
and corseted. He does not try to pressure her into anything. He is sweet and
accepting of her now-a-days jeans and t-shirt look. It would work on women today
because women like to know that they are enough without having to be made-up all
the time and act like someone they are not.
