At the end of the first stanza (line 9-10) of Ben Jonson's ode "To the Immortall memorie, and friendship of that noble paire, Sir Lucious Cary, and Sir H. Morison" we are presented with a puzzle. The poet mentions in the first stanza that the mythical "Brave Infant of Saguntum" goes back into its mother's womb, thus returning to its birthplace and making its mother's womb its "urne." The Saguntum child displayed a great deal of foresight, since by this act it avoided the catastrophe which would have befallen it at the hands of Hannibal had it entered the world. Mankind is thus left with a circle - the Traditional symbol of wisdom and harmony - which could be perfect if only its center were to be found (lines 9-10). The puzzle then is to find the center of the circle "Of deepest lore" that was the infant's legacy to mankind. The poet states further that Morison, who died young, led an exemplary life: "His life was of Humanitie the Spheare" (line 52). Though Morison's life is in this way symbolized by a spheare," a circle of perfection, its center is still unspecified. Until the center is discovered, a circle cannot be deemed "well-turned."
